(she said that) to my town?
That is the question that Kelly from
My discomROBulation threw out for a few of us to answer.
I'm always saying that nothing Roblated happens in Illinois. I had to travel three hours to watch
Eclipse on the IMAX screen for cripe's sake. Not that it wasn't worth it to spend time with Marie, Kassie, and Kris from
Twilight Junkies Anonymous and Mary from
The Cougar's Den.
The only time he was close was when he made an appearance on Oprah with Kristen and Taylor. To get a spot on the show like the girls at
Twilight Junkies Anonymous did, you had to send in a submission as to why you were obsessed with
Twilight. I couldn't bring myself to do it. The problem is, I'm not obsessed with
Twilight. I don't think Oprah's staff would have picked me when I told them it's all about Rob.
So here I sit in the rural Midwestern town of Taylor Ridge, Illinois, population 3,439 . . . a town that borders the Mississippi River where it divides Illinois and Iowa. What in the world could we possibly have here that would make Rob want to stop and stay for a while? There's no SoHo, no In-N-Out Burger, no Mark and Spencer's. Then it hit me. He already has London. He already has the West Coast. He's stood on the pier in Cannes. He's stated that New York City is his favorite city. He freaking owns Rome (and the rest of us because of it).
So, where does he go to relax? Where does he go to hang out with friends and enjoy himself? Where does he go to be the musician he was born to be? A bar. Whataya know. We have a few.
We have one where local bands play on the weekends.
Rob would fit right in.
