I Underestimated the Sate of Indiana... Hobart, IN


a couple weekends ago Sam got a text message from Bill Cox, guitarist of Danger Is My Middle Name inviting us bowling out in his hometown of Hobart, Indiana... both of us shocked and excited... we replied yes, but we couldn't make it out in time to bowl, but we could go out there and hang out, go to a bar or something... He was vague on the details of what we were doing, but we were doing something... it was gonna be hilarious.
We had a very small perspective of the state of Indiana... farmland and hillbillies for the most part... girls walking around in pajama pants and dudes in overalls... yeah we're small minded city kids that's for sure... what else were we suppose to think?
After getting lost we finally get to where we were suppose to be... and it was just what we expected... farm and forest... driving on some little podunk road through trees and it's dark, three young white girls in the car... we were afraid we were gonna get jumped or hit by a deer... passing Bill's house once we had to turn around, almost driving our car into the woods... We finally find it.. and go into his house.. We were afraid that when we got back to the car there would be a deer in the front seat.. haha.. we're such losers...
So there we are all sitting in Bill's basement bedroom, and then we get the tour.. haha.. it's like the most awkward thing I have ever experienced... I think I can say the same for Sam and Lisa.. we toured his house and poked fun at Indiana. We then sat in Bill's room and watched the last hour and a half of Amity Horror and got even more freaked out about being surrounded by woods and such...
As awkward as this all sounds, you have no idea. after probably 2 hours, and Bill asking if his shirt was too plain about 40 times... we finally left...
None of us knew where we were going, only Bill who was driving.. and so we drove.. and then came to Club 83. Dance Club. ohhh yeaaaah. Not only are we in Hickville, but there are gangs here... this place was hood for sure... They checked all of our ID's like for ten minutes each... made us check our coats and hoodies and made sure we weren't carrying weapons... I'm dead serious.. haha.
Now. This is Indiana... soooo... like I have stated before... they don't have the smoking ban, so it was nasty gross in there, and not only was there a dance floor and stage.. but a stripper pole and fog.. you know because Indiana keeps it classy.
Don't get me wrong... we were all really amused by all this, but once it all kind of set in, we were totally down for it. Sam, Lisa and I love to dance, and they were playing some great music, so we hit the dance floor and Bill came in later.. it was pretty much a fantastic night...
Who knew that Indiana could be that much fun... you have no idea if you haven't been there... we plan on going back numerous time... maybe not staying out til 5 am this time tho.. oops. : )
