Your dad would buy this book and he has the coffee table to put it on.
You can get it from Amazon before Father’s Day too.

So what is terrifying is that this other hipster-theme blog exists that I never knew of. And it’s using the same theme as me. Damn
So then!
So then I went to Barnes and Noble and saw a book about how dads are the original hipsters. It is totally true though. And it is a rendition of the tumblr that totally just found. I’ll reblog the book which links to the blog. But! Then I went to my grandparents’ place and I am now the proud owner of a 112 year old top hat which was worn by my great-great-great-grandfather. No Joke. Once photos are working I will wear it and show the world that doesn’t care.
Until then, later hipsters

The outside mural is new and has a story. The artist put a mural of a gangster on the side of a more prominent building and the city council got it painted over because they thought it was too urban and took away from the real Sarasota vibe. Old people are no fun. So, he contacted the salvage and was given the right to paint this mural. This one is a black gangster looking doctor named “doctor robin”, suggesting that Sarasota would rather be robbed by people wearing white coats. Pretty cool graffiti flame war
The guy who started this place is an old family friend. They visit places that are being torn down and take the vintage parts of the wreck that they can resell. It is actually pretty cool if you are going for this look. You can also buy old sculptures, trash art, and rusting fences for practical construction. If you are into the vintage look. The day I was there, I was disappointed by the lack of hipsters. This is the type of thing that vintage freaks flock to, but it was only middle aged people. I took other photos of the inside that I will post once my phone decides to behave
Also! The girl in the last photo is not me. I’m a guy. I’ll post a photo of me at some point I guess. I am just finding these photos off the internet
So this is where I went. Sarasota Architectural salvage. It is pure essence of vintage-hipster. I wandered about here and ill post some photos from online of what it looked like
Florida and Sarasota intro
I went on hipster adventures last weekend. I have photos on my phone but at the moment, it is misbehaving and not showing the photos took. Sad face. But! I think that a few rants are in order before I actually unload things.
I live in the land of Bradenton Florida.
I kind of hate it.
The quickest explanation is that there is no weather and once you have weather, you realize that it is bad and humans never should have tried to conquer the swamp. Florida is full of life. And the life is trying to live in your anus. The next reason why I am not a fan is that Florida is composed of people who think that living somewhere warm all year long (ignoring all other liabilities) is a great idea. It is not a great idea. And the people usually do not help. Yes, I am making generalizations, but most of the nice people I know hate it here or are new here.
However, I like Sarasota Florida which is around an hour south of where I live. It is historically artsy with the Ringling Museum of Art and Ringling College of Art and Design. It is also very pretty with a nice small skyline and waterfront vistas. Downtown is friendly, and the elderly are more confined to their retirement ghettos. It is also the closest hipster stuff I can access.

Note to self: Use the term “flying colors” when referring to Jackson Pollock.
