Dang Those Hipsters; alt title, How to Be A Hipster by Reader Carli
Went with Reader Carli et al to the Dale Earnhardt Jr Jr concert last night at The Drunken Unicorn. Carli is our go-to consult for new music and last night she was inspiring us to channel our inner hipster (She also kept trying to pick out cute hipster boys for us but kept losing them in the crowd – prompting the best line of the night, “Dang those hipsters, they all look alike.”). Here’s what we learned.
How to be a Hipster, by Reader Carli:
1. Go to cool underground concerts at places with names like "The Drunken Unicorn." Don't be afraid of lead singers that look like Jimmy Fallon and half attempts at crowd surfing. It's cool.
2. Fake glasses and PBR. Check!
3. Be nice to your preppier friends. They are trying. They can and want to learn. And in the meantime, be patient with them wearing ruffled tops from Banana Republic.
