Hillsong is an Australian pentecostal megachurch. Don't know how they set up a hipster outpost in New York.

what is the london equivalent of that nyc shitshowI think my friend now goes to one in King's Cross, but I was specifically referencing http://www.stmaryslondon.com. He had a fridge magnet that was supposed to look like a prescription medicine packet and it said
C H U R C H *(*non-drowsy)
which made me all kinds of IA.
There's also a coffee shop on brick lane (it's name sounds like Kahlua) with suspiciously beautiful staff that I think uses edison bulbs and mason jars as a front for backwater dogoodery.

lol the unitarian church i briefly attended wasn't a zillion miles from this altho much more palatable
― VENIET IMBER (imago), Tuesday, 31 December 2013 03:52 (ten years ago) link
the unitarian church i went to a couple times in the 90s sang some nice simple hymns from different continents after a thoughtful lecture about ethnographic differences in the expression of hope, or something like that. i think the snacks came from the organic grocery. idk if i had a lifestyle that was more in sync with getting up before noon on a Sunday, maybe i'd go to one here because singing in a an attractive old building with cool acoustics is p dope. but honestly, that is probably not gonna happen until i'm a senior citizen and shit.

In summary, we did a very important and scientific analysis about what kind of music is hipster-approved. Sun Kil Moon, Fuck Buttons, The Field, and Julia Holter made the cut. Unfortunately, Daft Punk, Arcade Fire, My Bloody Valentine, and Arcade Fire did not.The analysis was inconclusive, however, on one very important question for hipsters. Is it okay to like Vampire Weekend?

The place is steps from what Mr. Weir describes, only half tongue in cheek, as the “groovy dad Gowanus coffee shop,” a.k.a. the brick-walled Root Hill Cafe on Fourth Avenue. “It’s always filled with lots of arty, paint-spattered stay-at-home dads,” Mr. Weir said, “along with kids wearing natural fabrics.” He suspects that everyone he sees hunched over a laptop is laboring over a webcast TV show.An incident that occurred his first week in the neighborhood encapsulates what he likes about it. Mr. Weir needed a slab of plywood for his bed. He poked his head into an artists’ supply store, where a blue-jeaned worker “gave me a piece of wood and said, ‘O.K., man, just take it for free and pay it forward.’ It was like something out of a movie.”“I’m still a little afraid of how groovy and arty my neighbors are,” said Mr. Weir, who is working on a novel about a 50-something man much like himself living in a neighborhood much like Gowanus. “To be honest, I don’t feel hip enough for Brooklyn. But when you’re 55, and you see people forming themselves and determining what they’re going to be, that’s a good feeling. I like being around people who haven’t fully found themselves.”

In searching for a home, he had ruled out neighborhoods like Forest Hills, Queens — “a grandma place,” as he described it. “I wanted to live someplace younger,” Mr. Stone said. “I liked that the restaurants on Vernon Boulevard aren’t too stuffy, that they’re more casual than the ones you find in older neighborhoods. I like that you see people walking the streets late at night.”
