One last thing, and this is the big one: do people here in Indianapolis actually prefer folks from the East Coast or those guys from California? I need to know which persona I should pull out of my back pocket. 😬
Even though, let’s be honest, my first move is always just pretending to be a local. It’s easy enough—you just attempt a slight accent shift when you talk, and honestly, even my wife at the university library once thought I was born and raised right here in Indy. 🙂
P. S. Apparently, there's a Dinamo vs Osijek game happening in town tomorrow. I'm not sweating it, though; I'll naturally just join up with the Cohort and handle any outsiders, without even trying to be some kind of aggressive nuisance or anything.
The hardcore fans only care about Hajduk Split!
