Despite my small town, we have more than a few places that cater for the Hipster crowd.
One of these is known simply as the Hipster Bar - I've mentioned the place in certain posts before.
On Saturday I went there again.
It was 11 O'clock. Waiting for other friends to show up, the Pixie and I decided to go to the Hipster Bar and relax before we meet up with the rest of the group.
The place was crowded. Full of dirty Hipsters. Blah.
And for the first time I actually saw a band there. I have no idea what they were called and all the members were too old to have a crush on...so I paid little attention.
Then we got a text from the rest of the group and we left.
We went to a more mainstream, popular bar where you get groped while you dance and have little room to move. I was ready to dance, but an awkward encounter from an ex-best friend had me running out of that bar like a little five year old.
I needed to go somewhere where that little skank would never be seen dead in.
I sought shelter.
At the Hipster Bar.
For Christ sakes, even the band was still playing!
So there I sat as I watched the band play, with a Hipster Chick with a brunette afro danced with a skinny guy that was hardly male - even now I'm still not sure.
We clapped at the end of each song and eventually the band left.
I sat with The Pixie, who kindly ran after me when I caught my eyes on the ex-best friend skank.
The Bar was warm, cosy, people (no matter how weird they seemed) laughed, talked, no judging or criticising. Guys were only coming onto me at a distance. I liked hanging out there.
Oh Holy Jesus.
I refuse to call this place my hangout. I don't want to be a hipster! I know I'm not - and judging by the outfit tastes of me compared to the fair maidens on Saturday - I don't think they'd call me one either.
it does worry me that when I was upset and drunk in confusion, that's the place I wanted to go.
Is this a Hipster Transformation in progress?
...nah!
