Hip band Clutch is performing at the Norva Theater in downtown Norfolk, Virginia on Tue Apr 10th. Tickets go on-sale Fri 2/28 at 10:am and are $19 (plus $6.50 in fees, so $25.50) in advance, or $23 (plus fees) the day of the show.
I don’t have definite plans to go to this show as of yet, but if someone could hook me up with a comp ticket or two, that would be great! I’d love to write up a review of this show. Get ahold of me at info@HipsterApproved.net
Nico covers ‘My Funny Valentine’ on Camera Obscura
The 3rd annual Sustainable Living Fair is coming to the Webb Center at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia this weekend, Sat Feb 18 10am and Sun the 19th 11am.
This event is totally free (even the parking) with the exception of the optional Rain Barrel Workshop. There is a fee for the cost of the items to make a rain barrel if you like, but you get to take it home with you after you make it. (Which I did last year.) I liked my rain barrel SO much I contacted the instructor, Mike and bought another one! You do have to register and pre-pay, so go to the website if you’d like one.
The Keynote this year is Tony Geraci. He’s a film maker, chef, and healthy food activist. He is debuting his new documentary — Cafeteria Man , for the first time in Hampton Roads on Saturday at 5pm.
I want to go to there…
Tracy Morgan, one of the stars of the totally hip TV show 30 Rock is performing at the Funny Bone Comedy Club in Virginia Beach’s Town Center Thurs Feb 16th to Sun Feb 19th.
Tracy is scheduled for one show at 8pm on Thur, but has two shows on Fri, Sat, and Sun (times vary). Tickets are $45 and are in the ‘Full Menu Showroom’. Which I guess means the ‘Big Room’…I’ve never actual been to this Funny Bone location. I’ve been to one in a different city, and it was always a great time. If someone could comp me tickets to this show, that would be great. I’d love to write a review.

Hope you were able to catch Bon Iver on Saturday Night Live last night. Unfortunately I missed it due to being heavily sedated and overly comfortable. Also…I’m an ‘Oldster’.
Anyway, I went to my trusty stand-by…youtube. It seems NBC doesn’t like it’s shows on there and has them pulled off. I was able to find the link that is posted above, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it gets pulled soon. Sorry for the big white ads across the bottom… You can go to nbc.com to see the full videos, I just can’t post them here…
The Tool show in Hampton, Virginia last night was awesome! I didn’t have the best seats, but it sounded great, and I had a pretty good view. Too bad I wasn’t able to get any pictures.
Just in case you couldn’t make it….I found a video on youtube that someone shot at the tour opener in Reno in January….full-show….enjoy!
I got a link to this video in the HipsterApproved mailbox and wanted to share it. It’s fun to watch with another hipster and see who can name the TV show first!
Turns out the Jingle Punks Hipster Orchestra is an 8 piece string ensemblet that makes theme music for TV shows, such as Pawn Stars. Which is HUGE! You can check out their other videos at their YouTube channel.
One other thing we got here that I think is worth sharing with you is a cool video by a hipster Dad and his kids. This guy seems to love Depeche Mode…could be worse. Check it out…
They also do a really cool Strangelove!
Here’s what a Haiku is:
Only problem is…it’s extremely short. There is only one Haiku per page, and Haiku are only three short lines each. That means most of the space on each page is blank! It does make the poems look nice though…
Here’s my go at one…
Writing Hipster poetry is hard
It’s important to be witty
Try in the ‘Comments’
I’m a big fan of comics. Loved them as a kid…but kind of tapered off them as I grew older. I’m really happy to see graphic novels and other comics making it to the big screen now. (Watchmen, 300, Marvel/DC…) I get a chance to relive my youth!
I don’t have cable TV at home, but I have had the opportunity to watch a bit of Adult Swim programming on Cartoon Network here and there, and LOVE that cartoons for adults has become widely accepted. In my personal collection I have some Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Venture Bros, and have enjoyed many other shows.
I heard that a show on FX Network called Archer was good, so I checked to see if it was on Netflix…and there it was! Instantly Streaming!
Just got done watching the first season, and this show is great! It’s basically a spoof on the Spy Genre of shows/movies (James Bond, Get Smart, Mission Impossible…) but the main character, Sterling Archer’s Mom is the head of the team. That’s where all the fun begins. The voice cast is awesome. Chris Parnell from SNL has a hilarious part, but everyone is equally fantastic.
