Real World persona Frank Sweeney visits Iowa City

Sweeney, a cast member from MTV’s most recent season of "The Real World: San Diego," will speak at 10 p.m. today W151 Pappajohn Business Building. Admission is free.

Sweeney is partaking in a Q&A hosted by the Campus Activities Board in which he will talk about his experiences on the show and possibly show a few clips from this past season.

Sweeney, nicknamed Hurricane Frank, showed a tropical storm of emotions while on the show.

The New Yorker has become known for his hookups with numerous girls and guys and his notion that a night spent drinking without a blackout means you didn’t have enough fun.

Members of the Iowa City audience will find out if it was all an act for television or if this is how Sweeney truly lives his life.
