   I live in Virginia; Hampton Roads area; Not good for huge Hollywood   
   A-listers (unless they're filming historical stuff like Tom Cruise,   
   Tom Hanks and Colin Farrell were here not too long ago).  There is a   
   lot of concerts, free events (I think we must be the festival capital)   
   and sports things here (minor though as we don't have a major league   
   team here).  However, it's a HUGE military area and a lot of folks   
   come to support the troops around here and politicians come here too.   
   I hear Tim Kaine is a potential running mate for Vice President so   
   time to look for him!  Hollywood or New York would be better, but this   
   is a good place for graphs all things considered.
