Snow Days have slowly become an endangered species.

You know what a Hy Vee is.

You have eaten at Johnny's, Caniglia's, AND Mr. C's.

You know everything about Warren Buffet's love life.

You say you're going to a "cheapee" whenever you watch a movie at Westwood or the Stockyards.

You judge the popularity of a movie by how long it takes it to transfer to the Westwood or the Stockyards.

You wouldn't dream of ever using public transportation and would die rather than walk somewhere.

You know all about the middle lane of Dodge.

One of your parents worked for Mutual of Omaha, Con Agra, UP, or FDR..

The fuck are you talking about, the coffee at that shit heap is fucking terrible. Never mind the little indyrock brats that would show up when their no tallent indierock friends play there on friday nights.

I am guilty though of the RanchBowl thing becuase many good concerts were there, many good times, and now well. It's horrible here because of the venue owners and fly by night promoters fucking everybody over.

If you ever want to mess up some indie kids or scensters let me know. I'll bring my cricket bat.

2ox · 01-11-2007

wow...........I didn't realize how much it sucks living here. Thanks Daph!

Lynniebits · 01-11-2007

Never been to Caffeine Dreams, and actually grew up in CB. "That one guy" from the Christmas Carol was my 7th grade English teacher and the director of all my Jr. High plays. Yeah, that was fun.

Plus, I freakin' love River City Roundup!
