Joel G and Fur Ry wanted the learn more from the experts, so they took a trip to Valencia Street last Saturday night to get the skinny on Hipsters.
We also want to thank artist and musician, Karla Mi Lugo. We stumbled upon her street performance that evening and she and her music were an absolute delight.

FindingOutAboutHipsters
Jazz: A History (1977), Frank Tirro defines the 1940s hipster:
The hipster is an underground man. He is amoral, anarchistic, gentle, and overcivilized to the point of decadence. He knows the hypocrisy of bureaucracy, the hatred implicit in religions—so what values are left for him?—except to go through life avoiding pain, keep his emotions in check, and after that, “be cool,” and look for kicks. He is looking for something that transcends all this bullshit and finds it in jazz.
