I'll just go with 'stuff that bothers me more than Ann Curry' until I hear from you. Also, is my use of 'pet peeve' one of your pet peeves? That just blew my mind.Natehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10902641133832711287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8227997110744537949.post-88691509165041703242008-05-05T07:37:00.000-07:002008-05-05T07:37:00.000-07:00I lived in Boulder (hippie capital of the US) and ...I lived in Boulder (hippie capital of the US) and had my fair share of trustafarians beg for money on Pearl Street then hop in their Range Rover and drive off. If you're not a meat-shunning, subaru-driving liberal, you're definitely "out." In many ways, hippie towns can have a more close-minded attitude than hippie-friendly towns. <BR/><BR/>P.S. Nate, I beg you not to use "pet peeve" on your blog again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8227997110744537949.post-43567281890326641702008-05-01T06:27:00.000-07:002008-05-01T06:27:00.000-07:00Kim - One of my pet peeves is people using big wor...Kim - One of my pet peeves is people using big words to describe little problems.

Traffic was a disaster.<BR/><BR/>That said, I'll go ahead and break one of my own rules and say that fashion eyewear in the Minneapolis area has reached epidemic proportions. <BR/><BR/>It's to the point now where I feel cheated if I meet someone from Minneapolis and they aren't wearing fashion eyewear.Natehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10902641133832711287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8227997110744537949.post-53637241428217783952008-04-30T14:42:00.000-07:002008-04-30T14:42:00.000-07:00Where does the fashion eyewear / indy rock hippie ...Where does the fashion eyewear / indy rock hippie fit into the equation?

(Champaign-Urbana, IL). It's very common to see people bike or skate to work, and the public transit is fantastic. There are several organic type markets, and the farmer's market is popular. There are people who generally look like hippies, and there are lots and lots of hipsters. (aside: hipster olympics: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAO4EVMlpwM).<BR/><BR/>But there's a starbuck's on every corner, and more than half the people who participate in some of the organic buying bike riding activities are not hippies OR hipsters.<BR/><BR/>This place is crazy.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13761321931605863024noreply@blogger.com
