I love an intimate club/bar show. They're the best. Last year my 15 year old son saw a band at a small venue with his friend. The lead singer grabbed his phone while he was recording and sung a verse directly to the camera. My son was jazzed. You don't get that at an arena show!
Kentucky, especially, and also West Virginia, are the south, but they're not the DEEP south, and there's a very real distinction. Basically, the deeper south you go, the more dixie-fried things get. This is why originally I wanted to set the part of the Urban Gothic epilogue involving Scug and family in the deep south of Alabama, rather than West Virginia, to show that they were truly FAR away from where the events of SG transpired. On a similar note, one region where some people there consider themselves part of the south but I really don't is Missouri, regardless of the Mason-Dixon line. Missouri is midwestern, and no one in the real south thinks otherwise.
I have to agree with him. West Virginia is Appalachian, but not distinctly Southern. The cultural divide is clear to those living in the region (TN, WV, VA, NC).
Wish I could make it. Lots of great people attending!
