If I am the association people have with KC, it certainly beats the ones who have never been here and thing we all live on a farm and ride horses! (East Coasters).
I realized how out of sync we are with big cities when I was 20 and flew to meet a tour manager friend in NYC for a record release at Virgin Records...I thought I was pretty hip staying at The Four Seasons and all.
...I had to buy all new clothes to not look like a total idiot. Lawrence, KS was years behind NYC
Anyway everyone thought I had an accent that was my life.
Oh another midwest story, I was on another trip to NYC and being in the Music industry, my friend had good connections. I was a stripper at the time and one thing I really wanted to do was dance at SCORES, just for one night.
So, they were really professional and had me fill forms out ahead of time, id, paperwork...like legit, nothing like the Dirty Bird back home.
I was new enough and dumb enough that I didn't have a stage persona created at all and when it said where we you born, I put Wichita, KS (not realizing you can say any glamorous place you want) I didn't put together that it was the sheet the MC was going to use to announce the featured entertainment....and when my grand moment came. He said and "heeeeerrrrreeeeesssss Alexis, our featured entertainer from
Wichita, KS,"
Totally ruined my moment of fame.....It would have been cooler to say "straight out of Compton" than Wichita. FML.... and everyone asked me questions about farm life and shit....which I know nothing about. Damn I wish I knew then what I know now...on many accounts.
