Get ready to be de-wussified:
USA Network has greenlit production on CAMP STEVE-O, a 30-minute reality pilot starring Steve-O of “Jackass” and “Wildboyz” fame, as he attempts to “de-wussify” the men of America with his own special brand of boot camp. The pilot is being produced in partnership with reality powerhouse Bunim-Murray Productions (”The Real World,” “The Simple Life ” “Starting Over”). The announcement was made today by Jeff Wachtel, USA’s executive vice president, original programming.
“Talk about unique characters! CAMP STEVE-O will certainly bring something different to USA,” said Wachtel. “We’re looking forward to working with Steve-O and Bunim/Murray to create an energized, fun show that will grab you by the … er, let’s just say, that will be very entertaining!”
“We are thrilled to be collaborating with USA Network in bringing back someone with such a sizable, existing fan base on cable,” added Jonathan Murray, Chairman and President, Bunim-Murray Productions. “Steve-O is certain to complement USA’s innovative programming.”
CAMP STEVE-O will follow the adventures of the indomitable Steve-O — a member of a dying breed of live-life-to-the-max daredevils who is disgusted with the alarming number of wussified men — as he travels around in a camper van invading the homes and offices of wimps, nerds and couch-potatoes who have been nominated by their buddies, girlfriends, wives, mothers and co-workers to be “de-wussified.” Administering his wild brand of “extreme attitude adjustments” — including shockingly hilarious stunts and embarrassingly funny and demented dares specifically tailored to each “Steve-O-in-training,” Steve-O will confront the guys where they live and shock them out of their shells where it matters most — in their hometowns in front of their family and friends!

The concert was this past Sunday and the meadow was full to capacity and no one was sitting - they managed to get everyone’s hips moving with their beautiful style of salsa and Latin jazz.
I managed to get a bunch of photos taken which I’ve posted to Flickr. Im sure you’ll enjoy them.
