ultrahip
Last night I went to go see Morgen's band play at the Silver Lake Lounge. I'd never been there before but I'd driven by and seen a line of hipsters outside on plenty of occations. The biggest revelation of the night, and actually setting foot inside is that the 80's are officially back. That, and really wishing I'd brought a hipster bingo card because I would have ruled the scool. Some of the things I saw were:
- A short skirt that ended about an inch above the sparkley underwear beneath it ensuring that everyone this girl walked by stared right at her crotch.
- Ironic mustaches and aviator sunglasses on every other guy in the room.
- people taking themselved WAAAAYYYYY too seriously.
- severall people wearing big floppy fat guy hats like you'd expect to see on Dom DeLouise. Each one independently was the ugliest accessory I'd ever seen in my life.
- The singer of one band sounded like the wicked witch of the west but looked like bugs bunny. I saw that because of the rabbit ears she was wearing, not because of her buck teeth.
- Is there a law or something requiring every guy who goes out in public to one of these places to wear one goofy cowboy button up shirt with embroidery on the shoulders? It sure seems like it.
- people totally rocking out and getting into live music that is pathetically bad is very entertaining.
- There's not enough fire at shows these days.
- Tube skirts everywhere.
viva the tube skirt revolution!
