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.

Bon Iver on SNL last night!

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…

Did you catch Tool last night?

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!

Jingle Punks Hipster Orchestra

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!

I thought these pictures over at TheGloss.com were very funny.

Hip kids should like them too!

Book review…Hipster Haiku

Posted on by

Here’s what a Haiku is:

Definition
hai·ku
NOUN 
1. short Japanese poem: a form of Japanese poetry with 17 syllables in three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables, often describing nature or a season
OK…now that everyone knows what that means…I just got done reading the book Hipster Haiku written by Siobhan Adcock.
I enjoyed the book and would highly recommend it to anyone interested in Hipsters.

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

New on Netflix…Archer!

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.

Now on Netflix…Workaholics!

I’m going to give the HipsterApproved Seal to the show Workaholics which has it’s first season now streaming at Netflix! The show is on Comedy Central if you have cable.

It’s a hip stoner office situation comedy. Since it’s on cable it’s allowed to get pretty wild!

One particular funny thing I heard was someone comparing the character ‘Blake’ to Captain Caveman!

That got me thinking about how much the DJ Skrillex looks like Corey Feldman. Well…when I went to look for pictures of them, I found out I’m not the first person to think so…

This photo of the two of them together proves it's not just one person.

By the way…check out this song that Skrillex made with the members of The Doors called Breakn’ A Sweat.
