Sorry, I had you confused for every white hipster I've ever met. That's your target demo, huh? That's something.

Going to any shows this weekend, '80s Bill de Blasio? Oh, nevermind. I just saw 11 tabs on your browser open to music blogs, so I just figured...

You seem cool, '80s Bill de Blasio, I can tell by the ratio of fixed gear bike to chest hair. Oh, wow! You have a lot of opinions on city politics and real estate. You must be a native! Oh, you moved here from New Haven last month?

If you're interested, '80s Bill de Blasio, my friends and I have a zine we're working on, if you're interested in the boundaries of form. Well, I wouldn't say regularly. We publish when we feel cultural discourse can bear it. It's a radical intervention, you know? Of course you do. You're in? Great!
