Title: "West Virginia Squares" Starring Pierre LaCock
Post by: Adam Nedeff on June 17, 2014, 10:18:36 PM
This is going to be fun, I think.

On June 23-24, as part of the annual FestivAll in Charleston, West Virginia, the Clay Center will be the site of "West Virginia Squares (http://www.festivallcharleston.com/node/1504)," a special version of the game entirely featuring West Virginia-centric questions. The show will be hosted by West Virginia native Pierre LaCock, and this event will mark his first professional performances ever under his real name.

As a bonus, June 24 will conclude with an even-more-special version of the game, "Hillbilly Squares (http://www.festivallcharleston.com/events/wv-music-hall-fame-presents-hillbilly-squares-starring-pierre-lacock)," for adults only and featuring a decidedly blue streak to the questions and answers.

Looking at the page Adam linked to, apparently this is going to be recorded for use on West Virginia PBS. Wow.

The father of famous major league baseball player Pete LaCock (Cubs, Royals) finally gets his due.  It's about time.

I was thinking to myself "Who?" And then I looked at the page and realized...huh. Didn't know that was his real name.

Certainly you've read at least his Wiki page.

You're missing the bigger story here, Chris.  At 5:52 PM Eastern on June 23, 2014, Dan Benfield admitted he doesn't know something, something that is reasonably well-known in these parts.  This is truly an historic moment.

Daniel has a similarly voluminous record on various Wikis.

I stand corrected yet amazingly don't care that I confused the two of them. :D

I hope we can take this instance of complete agreement and build something wonderful and awesome from it.

At times they seem interchangeable, you would be right. :)

The BIGGEST shock of my visit home for Christmas three years ago: The three video rental places in Vienna, West Virginia all went out of business before the Blockbuster Video in Burbank did.
