I'm Not Calling Anyone A Liar-But...

I grew up in the exact same area as the locale of Mr. Moody's book/movie (Southern Fairfield County, CT), and I also experienced the Ice Storm of 1973, I'm not calling Mr. Moody a liar-

BUT:

-Regarding the " Key Parties ", I never even HEARD of anything even remotely resembling these events EVER happening anywhere in my area...

-The Storm itself is portrayed as having taken place over the holidays, when in fact it actually happened near the beginning of the year, Jan-Feb.

That's correct, and I remember it well in Greenwich Ct. Missed a lot of school and had a great Christmas that year.

Despite the whole thing about this book being a work of fiction and that it's stupid to expect everything in it to be true and factual... are you really arrogant enough to think you know everything that went on at every party in the town you happened to grow up in?
