#inberlin, 27july
all daily, hipster-related posts from my month (probably more) in berlin are here on my tumblr. read along by following the tag #inberlin. — lunch with my friend tony - pho bo (vietnamese). then met up with genevieve & yeon at the c/o gallery. really awesome polaroid exhibit. the other half was this photographer who reminded me of david lachapelle, but was way more depressing. i didn’t really like the stuff except for one photo, and like i said, it was all depressing and pretty monochromatic & a bit boring. (+3 hipster points) tony and i went clothes shopping afterwards and i almost bought a €100 pair of jeans at ben sherman. but i didn’t. yet. they were beautiful. coffee & then shoe shopping and then headed to the couchsurfing meetup at 8pm. (+4 hipster points) was supposed to meet kamiel, yeon & genevieve there but they called at the last minute and said they weren’t. ended up running into fabian and his friend kate, though, and we spent one beer sitting outside talking about social media, blogging, nonprofits. really interesting stuff and things i feel comfortable talking authoritatively on. (+5 hipster points) after the one beer, tony & i went for cheap pasta and then back to my apartment. picked up a few beers on the way. genevieve arranged to meet us here at like midnight and then one more beer and we were off for the night! went to this gay indie club night “berlin hilton” at nbi bar, not too far from where i live. danced all night to a mixed bag of good & bad music. lots of pretty boys. walked home around 5am, stopped for a falafel of course. sleepover at my place! (+4 hipster points) total hipster: 16 points!
