Free fries @ Burger King 12/16/11

Found this news on the web the other day.

I confirmed this at the Burger King website. Here’s what they have to say:

In honor of the new Fry, BURGER KING® has declared Friday, December 16th “Free Fries Friday.” Consumers will be able to go to a BURGER KING® restaurant nationwide and enjoy a complimentary value size order of new fries, with no purchase necessary, while supplies last.

Tired of the same old Holiday music? Looking for something a little more ‘hip‘?

I found a cool new website made by the guys in The Flaming Lips. It streams awesome Christmas music 24 hours a day!

Free Olivia Tremor Control download

Aside

Hey…I keep reading on the net about the new OTC song ‘The Game You Play is in Your Head Parts 1,2,3’ that’s currently for-sale on iTunes, and about the current tour. (Too bad they’re not coming anywhere near me.) They also have a new full-length to be released soon! Really looking forward to that…

I’m a long-time huge fan of them and a lot of the other bands on Elephant 6 Records. But really, Olivia Tremor Control is right up there near the very top.

While surfing Pitchfork, I came across this site with a free download of a live radio show (5 songs, plus an interview). It’s at FreeMusicArchive.org here -> http://freemusicarchive.org/music/The_Olivia_Tremor_Control/Live_at_WFMU_on_Gaylord_Fields_Show_on_October_16_2011/

Thanksgiving 2011

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Hope you are having a good one.

I found this funny as hell Hipster comic here-> http://hipsterhitler.com/comics/thanksgiving/ Check it out!

I also found this cool little article at Some Guy Daily News:

ANYWHERE—A group of obnoxious hipsters near you, which could be anywhere in the country at any given time, are unsure as to what the proper way is for them to celebrate Thanksgiving this year. The current consensus is to hedge their bets by getting together for a typical Thanksgiving meal but not being at all happy about it.

“We might watch some football, you know, ironically,” said insufferable hipster Brian “Bert” Aultman. “And cheer for the Dallas Yankees to… you know, um… score a home run from the 3-point line.”

The hipsters, all dressed like someone sneezed chewed-up milk-trodden Fruity Pebbles onto your glasses, are all planning to eat Oscar Meyer brand deli turkey instead of cooking a regular turkey as per Thanksgiving custom. “It’s just a more American celebration to do it this way, ultimately,” said Aultman while frowning into his $600 iPad 2. “You know, because it’s like… it’s an American holiday, and there’s nothing more Americanized than Oscar Meyer lunchmeat, so it’s like… oh nevermind, if I have to explain it you’ll never get it.”

“We can’t really afford a real turkey anyway since we’re all broke,” he continued while adjusting his $180 designer glasses, brushing off his $210 designer skinny jeans and tucking away the loan payments he just got in the mail that he owes for his $120,000 art school degree.

Also, one final thing…I came across a recent Hipster article at NPR.org Check it out here–> http://www.npr.org/2011/11/16/142387490/the-hipsterfication-of-america

Pretty interesting…what do you think?

The Kitten Covers

Found this hilarious set of pictures at this Tumblr site -> http://thekittencovers.tumblr.com/

Hipsters love vinyl records. Even if they don’t have a turn-table at the moment. Think of records as investments for the future.

Happy Halloween 2011!

First post!

Richmond “I heard there are actually a bunch of anarchists here” Virginia

Hello…thanks for stopping by to read about all things hip.

This is a work in progress right now. I will be adding an eBay store and a Facebook page (Facebook is totally new to me). Be sure to check back often for updates. Or click on “Follow” to get all the latest delivered right to your inbox!

Anyway…I read this cool article on the web today that actually mentions Richmond, VA as being a “hipster approved” city to live in. That is SO cool considering that I am headquartered in Norfolk, Virginia (Ocean View section). Richmond is the nearest “big” city to us. After that it’s Washington DC.

The article had this cool graphic with it->
