To do
Some more stuff on Charlottesville. Lately, he's been patriotic about his town, mostly because it gets him exposure and makes him look like a better member of the community and it frames his struggle against the trolls as a patriotic battle for his town's honor. --Champthom 18:59, 14 August 2009 (CEST)
- Think I might put together something on the city's place in Virginia at large, comparative isolation, etc. One thing that springs to mind -- has Chris ever mentioned whether he's actually left his hometown? Left the state of Virginia? What's the farthest he's ever been from home? Dkaien 03:24, 8 November 2009 (CET)
- He went on that trip to Ohio to meet Julie, he did take a trip to California to meet his brother Cole Smithey once, and he's gone to some anime cons. --Champthom 03:47, 8 November 2009 (CET)
- His parents filed a missing persons report when he left for Ohio. I'm unsure how long he was gone for, but he was apparently inconsiderate enough to not to tell his parents he was leaving the state. --05:22, 8 November 2009 (CET)
- Okey, cool, I remembered the Julie disaster, but I'd never read about the California trip. I wouldn't say the AMA trips really count, I defy anybody to tell the Richmond suburbs apart from the Charlottesville suburbs, even if they've lived there... Dkaien 04:28, 8 November 2009 (CET)
