My friend, Semi, planted the seed that I should blog about hipsters in the city. Similar to my 'Top Ten", I'm also planning on including a "Hipster of the Week" each week. Check out the first installment of a hipster at the Powell Street BART station and Semi (in the white t-shirt). It's hard to take a picture of a hipster without them throwing something at you.
Not sure if this is an accurate definition of "hipster", but thank you Urban Dictionary dot com: Hipsters are a subculture of men and women typically in their 20's and 30's that value independent thinking, counter-culture, progressive politics, an appreciation of art and indie-rock, creativity, intelligence, and witty banter. The greatest concentrations of hipsters can be found living in the Williamsburg, Wicker Park, and Mission District neighborhoods of major cosmopolitan centers such as New York, Chicago, and San Francisco respectively.

What a wonderful suggestion. Of course, any suggestion by semi sweet, or semi-licious as I like to call him, you should take! When I was in SF for the summer and living in the mission I felt so out of place that I ended up buying grey skinny jean levi's at a vintage store. Now back in LA, namely beverly hills, it's those silly hipsters who stick out, not me! Also, I nominate Samantha Ronston for hipster of the year.
