Exactly! I guess to folks from NYC, everything is upstate, but our friends from 'true upstate' towns like Syracuse and Utica strongly disagree.

I got carded on my 28th birthday a few weeks ago. H thought it was hilarious. I also get carded at this one bar in our town ALL THE TIME but that's because they got busted a few months ago for serving underage kids.

FAVORITE DRINK (boozy or not): Non-boozy = an ice cold fountain diet coke. Boozy = Boordy Vineyards (local vineyard in MD) Riesling.
ANYTHING ELSE? My sister and SIL were born on the same day in the same hospital. My Mom and MIL always joke that they probably passed each other in the halls on one of their many walks.
I just read a book about a former CIA agent who told people she "worked for the government" or was a "government contractor" when she was in fact a spy. So- are you a spy?
@FeeleyToBe - LOL!! Oh gosh, I wish. I mean it would at least make my days a lot more interesting But unfortunately no. Instead I sit in a cubical and write meeting minutes from boring and redundant teleconferences every day. I do, however, get to wear a really cool headset!
Actually, the author of the book kind of alluded to the fact that it really wasn't ALL that interesting of a job, so maybe you should stick with the headset.

oh man there's so many... If I think of more I'll let you know! We're having a bluegrass band at our wedding that has played with Dolly Parton and I'm SO excited!!!
I found two groups at the folk festival this summer.
First is a husband and wife duo called The Honey Dewdrops- she plays a KICK ASS hammer claw banjo.
The other is an all female trio called Harpeth Rising; though on their CDs they supplement with other musicians / singers.
ETA: For sure you can hear the Honey Dewdrops on YouTube. If they have the song No More Trouble give that one a listen- for some reason it gives me serious chills when I listen to it!

Woo fellow Arizonan! I don't feel like there are very many of us here. Hell, I don't even feel like there are many people west of the Mississippi here.
@novella1186 I too love the Avett Bros and am annoyed by them being on the radio. I feel like they were my little secret fav band and now everyone knows who they are lol
Oh, man, I get IDed ALL THE TIME and the drinking age here is 18. I understand that a lot of the time it's just easier to ID anyone who looks under 40, I did it myself a lot when I bartended, but sheesh. I also got tons of "Let me see YOUR ID, are you even old enough to serve me?" which got really old, really fast, while I was working.
Everyone at my office assumes I'm 22 because I came there out of university (which I took four years off before beginning.) I have a super round face and I'm fairly small so I know I look young, so I enjoy telling people I'm much, much closer to 30 than 20 and watching the surprise. FI looks super young too though so we match anyway.
ANYTHING ELSE? I'm a 5 foot tall Redhead who looks like a teenager. Seriously. I'm 28 years old and get carded everytime. In a Province whose drinking age is 18. Everyone must think my FI is a cradlerobber since he's 30, and looks 30.
