The Show: Grizzly Bear & TV on the Radio

Last night it was a hipster little getaway and a return to Cookie Mountain at The Commodore with the faux hipsters to see Grizzly Bear and TV on the Radio. I went for the music, but I stayed for the ridiculous wannabe hipsters. I was hoping this was going to be like reading Gawker's Blue States Lose, or going to visit the http://www.thecobrasnake.com/">Cobrasnake. Instead, I saw the following:

1. A sort of girl. Wearing Gramma Jeans and a Def Leppard shirt. With a guy, sort of. He was wearing the tightest sweater of all time and it had a massive deer on it. The skinny jeans of a 10-year old didn't help matters much.

2. There was a man-boy, in what looked like a blue cardigan and a he a purse (okay, shoulder bag) and he was prancing around the club like he was Tinkerbell.

3. A girl. She was trying to pull of this: Police hat, turned nearly sideways. All black gothish.

4. One of the bartenders started off serving you by just flexing and posing. Awesome.

It was amazing just to see the faux hipsters. The show was kind of just icing on the cupcake. While Grizzly Bear was barely able to be heard over all the sweet skinny jeaned hipster chatter, they were pretty cool. TV on the Radio kicked it up a notch - the encore featured both bands and a bullhorn which wasn't as obnoxious as it sounds. And to top it off, the singer of TV on the Radio summed of Vancouver with this amazing line: "It's a city of 6-foot tall ceramic bears". Was he being ironic, or was he joining the anti-Spirit Bear movement? Anyway, watch Breakdown City and stop working.

Exit question: what do the hipsters do during the day? Hint: "Barista" is not the only answer.
