I can't tell if you are making fun of hipsters or people who work in record stores and mock customers for their predicatable tastes.

oh nothing wrong with townes. just such a phenomena with the kids. i kinda knew that before i opened my store, but i didn't know HOW huge he was with college-y types. other people are getting townes spill-off since nobody has original townes copies lying around anyway. i sell john prine albums now.

my wife will make a huge pot of coffee and then save the leftover coffee in the fridge in a mason jar, to be reheated and drunk later. I dunno if this hipsterish so much as being cheap.

Mason jars are way better than tupperware for food storage. I always bring my lunch to work in jars.

do you stock new vinyl skot? they did some nice vinyl reisses of the townes albums
― dave coolier (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 10 February 2012 21:01 (twelve years ago) link
there is a definite overlap between hipsterish and cheap though!

― am0n, Friday, 10 February 2012 21:02 (twelve years ago) link
beige isn't hipsterish. like, those are totally yuppie pants.

my wife and I also regularly preserve/pickle stuff so we tend to have a lot of mason jars about... I did think it was sort of ridiculous when I went to a random bar a couple weeks ago and was served my beer in a mason jar.
― max buzzword (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 10 February 2012 21:04 (twelve years ago) link
at the annual locavore outdoor food thing in Oakland, they serve all the beer in mason jars.
― sarahell, Friday, 10 February 2012 21:05 (twelve years ago) link
what's the point, exactly?
― max buzzword (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 10 February 2012 21:08 (twelve years ago) link
if they wanted to be really old school they'd serve it in wooden cups lol
yeah fuck that mason jar crap.

dude this mason jar thing is no new thing, a sports-themed dive bar here did that ages ago.

i always lose my portable coffee mugs & once poured my coffee into a mason jar in a pinch one morning. it burnt my hand & i almost dropped it and had to walk around with my hands in my sleeves kind of juggling it to keep it from burning me through the fabric
― flopson, Friday, 10 February 2012 23:59 (twelve years ago) link
yeah i actually need to email fat possum and ask about wholesale townes reissues on vinyl. i'm just lazy.

some coffee shops I've been tp expect you to bring your own cup, and if you don't they give it to you in a mason jar

Though I wld never use this because with my COFFEE UNLUCK I would end up with 200º F fluid all over my feet at the first bump, which seems like a bad idea while driving.

AND on the mason jar front my friend just bought me a mason jar sippy cup converter.http://cuppow.com/img/product/cuppow-4.jpgIt hasn't come yet but I think it will make my wine-drinking evenings all the sweeter (fewer ruined shirts).

Cellphone photos are disposable and forgettable. In a photo booth, you plunk your money in and the result is frozen on film and in time. Hipster bars lead the way.

People like pictures of themselves. You can stick these on a fridge. You can make out in them. Kind of a no-brainer, really.

In a handful of hipster bars — Cha Cha Lounge, Edendale Grill — people are lining up to cram into photo closets, pull the curtain closed and wait for the flash to pop and freeze their goofy expressions.

an in-action quote
"I'm so over digital," said Bess Byers, a Venice marketing researcher darting out of the One-Eyed Gypsy's vintage booth. "With film you only have one shot and that's that. You have to make it count."
― omar little, Saturday, 4 August 2012 03:49 (eleven years ago) link
In the digital world, "you could take a picture of a cockroach and make it look like Godzilla," Orange County resident Fernando Lazaro, an office worker, said, explaining why he and a friend ducked into the photo booth one night last week at the One-Eyed Gypsy bar downtown. But in the photo booth world, "this is real."

Lopez posed this hypothetical: You put a picture online, and your friends and relations repost it. Somebody working on a "10 Best ...." list runs a Google search and finds it on a blog or online scrapbook. Presto, you're No. 6 on the "Cute Guys with Beards" site.
