The San Francisco Chronicles: Thoughts written while in Reno.

{Originally written on June 7th, 2010, during the car ride up to San Fran.}

While I entered the In-n-Out Burger for the first time in my sweet teen life, I pondered about people in general. I mean, for some odd reason I thought that people would act or be different when I was finally out of my safe, plastic, ultra-conservative Utah bubble. I feel foolish now for thinking that, of course.

Upon ordering my food and soaking in the tacky, late-nineties decor, I came across a group of hipster-looking teens. To my complete and utter surprise, they looked exactly like, well, Utah hipsters! Apparently, both Utah and Nevada hipsters wear overpriced Vans and Never Shout Never T-shirts. They both wear too-tight pants and sport knock-off neon Ray Bans.

This discovery got me thinking: Do all hipsters dress like all other hipsters? Perhaps I underestimated them. Perhaps the have formed an underground systematic hipster force that must follow specific hipster guidelines in order to be as "cool" and hipster-y as possible! Think about it. A network transporting word-of-mouth trends to posers nationwide! Like lightning!!

Never mind.
I honestly don't think that hipsters could come up with something that clever. Ever.
