The producer of MTV's "Jersey Shore" is casting a new series called "Lost in Austin". According to the website, the show is looking for "Texans who are at least 21 years old who have moved to Austin (or want to) for the party of a lifetime!" This sounds like a lot of fun for people who frequently get kicked out of Kung Fu Saloon, eat most of their meals at Denny's, and save up money for bottle service. Oh, and college kids. The information page suggests the show will be filmed at a house 'in the heart of downtown Austin' and challenges potential cast members to ' rule the bar scene, rope in the hottest of the hot, drink anyone under the table.' Sounds like a good time, you should go audition.

Hey, Phil: Local Casting Call for The Amazing Race
The Amazing Race is holding a casting call in Austin this Friday afternoon. For those unfamiliar with the Emmy-winning series, teams of two travel around the world with the teams going up against each other in challenges, all in an attempt to be the first to get to Phil's mat at the pit stop. The show in its 12 season run has made stops in six continents (no Antarctica pit stops yet). The winning team gets a million dollars in the end, but usually the first team to reach the mat at each pit stop wins a little something.
