Local News…Richmond, VA voted next Hipster city

It seems Richmond, Virginia has won a poll that was put on by CultureMap that asked ‘Which city is going the be the next Hipster city?’

Besides Richmond, the other city choices were:

 

  • Chattanooga, TN
  • Asheville, NC
  • Burlington, VT
  • Detroit, MI
  • Pittsburgh, PA

It seems they think Austin, TX is loosing it’s edge, so it wasn’t even a choice. Richmond won with 72% of the votes.

Here’s what they had to say about Richmond at the site –

The Rumpus named Richmond one of the most inhabitable hipster cities for post-graduates (and it seems like every indie band you meet is from here).

Is that supposed to be a good thing?

Anyway..bring on the Music Festivals!

I already highly recommend the Watermelon Fest in the ‘hip’ neighborhood of Carytown.

Breaking Local NEWS…Jane’s Addiction!

It was announced today that pre-sale tickets for fan club members only are currently on sale for Jane’s Addiction‘s THEATRE OF THE ESCAPISTS TOUR. (with Black Box Revelation)

The show is coming to the National Theater in Richmond, Virginia on Friday March 9th. Unfortunately general admission tickets ($44.95) are already SOLD OUT. As I write this…there are still tickets available for the Ticket + Autographed Lithograph package deal ($74.95).

Now I believe these are just the pre-sale tickets that are sold out, and more tickets will be put on sale when the show goes on-sale to the general public on Saturday January 14th.

 

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->
