I did a search for an answer to a bingo question on netscape and found this blog, and this rediculous Mecca bingo song/video...Brace yourselves!.
Bingo Video. First I discovered Berryz and C-ute and Mesume, now this super huge chic group...What next!

these ones for the hipsters who are actually poor and hang closer to the "hippie-punk-anarchist" branch on the indie family tree--2 pts if hispster references anarchist collective or cooperative where he/she lives, works, or eats
-- 2 pts if hipster sports roadburn from falling off bicycle. 4 pts if it is on their face
-- a pt if they break out the rolling paper
-- a pt for every piece of duct tape on their person
-- a pt if hipster mentions any kind of human parasite such as bedbugs, lice, fleas, or crabs. 2 pts and a wide bearth if they mention a past or current personal issue with parasite.
-- 2 pts if their hands are stained with paint
-- 4 pts if hipster sports vintage polaroid camera. 10 pts if you can get them to take your photo.
-- a pt if hipster girl or guy has a "rat's tail" 2pts if it's braided.

absolutely hilarious post. as a circle resident and brickskeller frequent-er, i'll have to keep the guide handy. might i suggest you also tackle the very unique scene that is the actual circle/fountain? definitely a unique species.

Anon 1:30:
I think you are or rather, you just didn't read all the way down the definition. It explains that there has been a modern movement of hipsters, which is what we've been talking about. I mean wikipedia ain't the best or anything, but I think it's a decent explanation...I'd consult the hipsters handbook, too, if you are interested.

you all may be confused. or i may be confused

the link to the wikipedia page that gives a definition of what "hipster" is suppose to mean, or whatever the hell, wouldn't be these people you are describing. you are just describing young people, or indie rock people, or emo people, poor people, or bohoyuppie people.

2006-07-21T07:10:00.000-05:00

just remember, there are laws against taking a rolled up newspaper and smacking hipsters on the nose and saying in a firm tone "No!". bad laws, but laws all the same.

2006-07-21T07:02:00.000-05:00

You must not be watching very carefully...Wonderland is in Columbia Heights, which is very different from Friendship Heights. And it has been over run with fraternity rejects like nearly every other bar in this city.

2006-07-20T16:49:00.000-05:00

it's american express. and i used to live in what was once hipster mecca-- the lower east side. dear god was that something to behold. i've always thought it to be such rich irony when a hipster is trying soooo hard to look like he/she doesn't try.

men with mascara is so last year. and i've had to throw away all of my pillowcases.

2006-07-20T14:47:00.000-05:00

HP: How many steps are there in hipster recovery?  I like hipsters just observing, makes them seem cooler than me, which I appreciate.

Sean: We put up with a lot of things around here at CircleV, but there will be NO knocking of anything Wes Anderson, ever. I even like his damn MasterCard commercial (or is it Visa).

2006-07-20T14:42:00.000-05:00

I'll tell you what's ironic. It's only because of the very rich corporate society these non-conformists (who all look the same) shun that allows them to shun in one non-conformist voice, and not starve to death. I was wrong before, these aren't the one who got beat up a lot when they were kids. They were the kids who needed a good beating. These people are one step away from being hippies. I will now throw away my copy of "The Royal Tenenbaums". Wes Anderson is dead to me ;-)

2006-07-20T14:37:00.000-05:00

As a recovering hipster, I would say that it varies. In some cases hipster people watching is all about judging (ex: thank god we are not so dull as to own abercrombie polo shirts), other times it's simply a neutral activity intended to pass time, and other times it's a paranoid attempt to see if the people around them are staring at them and making mean comment.

2006-07-20T14:14:00.000-05:00

Pagan: I would suspect many in DC are wanna-be hipsters, there may even be an argument to be made that true hipsters can only live in NYC.

LB: Was that ironic? Or were you just being ironic about irony...whew.
