Hipster or Hippie?
The following lists were compiled in the booth we took over from a poor couple at the Make Out Room last night:
Reasons Why Elizabeth is Not a Hipster:
1) Not ironic -- too earnest (see scale below; as a work in progress, feedback is welcome)
2) Dances at shows
3) No knowledge whatsoever of pop culture
4) Fashion sense too outdoorsy
5) Doesn't hand-pick thongs for each occasion
6) Brings camera to bars
Reasons Liz IS a Hipster:
1) Naked photos of herself in her bedroom
2) Hipster glasses (with hardly any prescription)
3) She has a blog
4) Wears grandma's earrings
5) Owns thongs, including one embroidered with cherries
Hippy or Hipster?
1) Public interest work
2) Love of things organic
3) Invites debate / inquisition into hipsterness of self
(the naked photo thing might belong in this list)
Forgot I had my camera until long after their set, so there are sadly no photos of The Dying Californian in all their multi-band-member-plus-backup-singers glory. I hope we embarassed Liam and Kate with our whooping and hollering of appreciation.
