I heard M. Speigal mention that he was attending the Pitchfork Festival on Sunday night. I was there last night as well. I could not help but notice that the Detroit Tiger were heavily represented. Caps, t-shirts and even tatoos.

Pretty pathetic showing by White Stocking fans.




Linda S.

LCD Soundsystem play that night? James Murphy draws a lot of influence from Detroit techno and as a result a lot of fans from Detroit as well. Maybe fans made the trek over and stayed for the weekend.

I recall when LCD would play the Empty Bottle back in the day they'd close with a cover of Carl Craig's Paperclip People's 'Throw'.

Spiegal went out on a work night, and made it in the next day?

LCD Soundsystem was Friday I think. Last night was Pavement

Judging from the time the hipster hordes made their Night of the Living Dead Hipsters trudge through the neighborhood to the trains, I'd guess the whole thing was over before Adult Swim even started.

Btw, Squidbillies had a special half-hour musical special last night, with several alt-country types like DBT and the guy from the Old 97's contributing tunes.

I read in the Trib that it wrapped up right around 10

Too busy baking for Big Boi to put a rise in your loaf?

can you define what a hipster is or do you just use that term because it is hip to do so?

That's pretty much what I'd go with. Can I add to that the black-rimmed non-prescription glasses?

No PBR at pitchfork......meaning there were thousands of sad people there on Saturday.

In addition to the large % of "hipsters" (or whatever we call them), that was the largest gathering of, um, "liberals" that I have been around in one spot since my undergrad days.

well, Darkside is a hipster and so is spanky just for going to pitchfork...(just my opinion).

btw: summerfest has the best food.

Summerfest has good food, but I swear to god, I had the best Pad Thai (vegetarian - only option they had) I've ever had in my life at Pitchfork. And it was served in a cardboard boat....I also got an order of bruschetta that was bigger than an order you'd get at a normal italian joint, and it was fresh! The wife got some kind of roasted veggie panini thing that was good, but it had squash on it. Spanky no-likey squash. She also got some kind of "watermelon lemonade" which was actually just a giant overflowing cup of chunks of watermelon filled with fresh-squeezed lemonade.


A $40 cover charge just to go somewhere and eat would be a little much, but I swear I could have just eaten for hours there.

Darko is probably the second least "hip" guy on this board. I'm first.

_________________

Well let's see.
I have a couple non-bloodstained Blackhawks jerseys, but the mid 90's version shows I'm not a bandwagoner so I like it. Plus, the blood makes it look cool.
The shoes. yeah. I buy a pair of shoes maybe once ever 5 years. Those gym shoes were purchased in 2005. I have a 3 year old paid of Docs too. I get my money's worth. Partially because I am excessively cheap. Partly because I don't find shoes comfortable until they're broke in well.
PBR was $12.99/30 pack when I last brought it over. I usually bring you your favorite libation though. Very non hipstery.
Yeah, I like the beard though. It's, as Dan Mac said "rugged". Sweet.
Unkempt. Can't defend that.

I'm super hip, but terribly uncool.

well, I'm just saying I could show you guys a picture of at least 3 of my friends and you guys would classify them as hipsters...but, you'd be wrong, because they too have been this way for a dozen years.

Always the worst, hipsters who don't think they're hipstsers, like this hipster chick singing an anti-hipster song called 'Hipster Bitch':

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3OkmZMejdY

According to this song, the “Hipster Bitch” wears daisy dukes, compares her poetry to Dylan, and snorts cocaine at overpriced New York bars? Or do hipsters wear flannels, play accoustic guitar, call people out for misquoting Dylan, and post their songs on YouTube?

C. Both.

Hipsters wear courdoroy pants to a concert where its 95 degrees outside.

The outdoor show is the only time they see the sun.

Every band you like, they liked 5 years ago.

Ok, now we're at a point where I'm not sure exactly what we're talking about and I'm wondering if I missed something going on in the preceeding posts.

Which thread?

Maybe they have just been hipsters for a dozen years...

Food for thought
