Ever see a giant monster crawl up out of the ocean and eat Guilford, CT? Aliens with their giant mothership parked over Lawrence, KS?

Big cities have much more complicated looking abandoned factories to dance in, legally.

Well no, but that doesn't mean it never happened. Just that no one noticed.

I grew up in a small town. With the exception of the alien invasion, all of these things happened in that small town in Southern Illinois. There even more frightening things happening the abandoned coal mines, though. These events were the main contributing factor to my moving to a big city at the first chance that I got.
/And I chose Indianapolis because of the numerous of abandoned factories that I can dance in.

During my teen years, I grew up in Lake Arrowhead, California, and if you were to change alien invasion to illegal alien invasion, the score would be ten out of ten.

One of my friends family actually did buy the house where an entire family was murdered for a really good deal. When I say they bought it for a good deal I mean they had to replace the carpet because of the blood stains. Not only that but not that far away from there were the cornfields where some of the Children of the Corn movies were shot.

Well, if you look at the ID4 map, it looks like the aliens destroyed Bismarck, ND. I guess the whole loan sorta-skyscraper confused them.

10) False
9) False
8) True
7) Mostly True
6) False
5) True
4) False
3) True
2) False
1) False. That's a reason to be in a small town, not to flee from one.

I thought it was because dancing is outlawed.

Sounds like where *I* grew up. I chose Indy too, but came back down to southern IN for some cheap book-learnin'.

/I'll be back. Oh yes, I will be back.

Sweet! I'm for sure coming up to Indy for it. At the risk of sounding douchebro-ish, my friends put on the best afterparties. I *think* they're taking over the Ugly Monkey for the weekend this year, I'll have to talk to Gretchen/DJ Coppertop some more and find out. She's already got like 11 dj's and I forget how many bands lined up. So if you're interested, I can email ya the info once I have it nailed down.
