Step 2

Step 2  –  Buy local produce

Certainly the hipster thing to do is join a CSA and have my fresh veggies delivered to me each week from a not too far away farm.  We do have a small garden in the backyard, but I'm pretty sure that either container gardening or growing herbs are the only hipster things to do.  However, buying locally grown produce is totally hipster especially if said hipster can talk to the farmer who grew the produce.  Buying the produce at Giant Eagle isn’t very hip even if it was grown at Trax Farm.  I need to be able to drop the letters CSA and name farms in conversations with other hipsters.

Here are the goods that I purchased at my first farmers market of the year.  I think I need to draft a schedule in order to hit all of the local farmers markets and  be on my way to being a hipster.  

 

Step 1

Step 1 - Master the Hispter Hairdo

The idea of becoming a hipster came to me while watching a performance of Once on America’s Got Talent.  Now, I understand that AGT isn’t very hipster, but I liked Cristin Miliot’s hair during the performance and thought that I could do start fixing my hair similar to hers.   

The next step in mastering hipster hair will be wearing a knit hat- preferably a knit hat that is handmade even if it has to come from etsy.com.  Instead, I'll have to deal with a plaid hat unti l can find the perfect homemade knit cap.

Intro

I live in Beechview and I own Converse shoes, why not become a hipster.  I had this thought while riding my bike to Dormont one Saturday morning.  My journey is beginning as I grow from hopeful hipster to a full-grown hipster.  As one can imagine, this type of transformation doesn’t happen overnight or with one bike ride.  

Here's me.  This is a pre-hipster revolution picture.
