I have a new favorite holiday.
So I just found out that June 1st is National Punch a Hipster and I couldn’t be more excited. I am already putting together a posse to cruise Temescal and the Mission District. Most holidays I celebrate by playing video games or staring morosely at my TV, but now I have a holiday I’m actually excited to participate in. Also, rather than playing pretend violence I get to participate in some real violence!
In truth I doubt I will punch anyone. I’m really not a violent person. However, be warned on June 1st if you cross my path and are dressed like a ’70s flood victim, spent an hour making your hair look like you just got caught in a wind storm (or had someone really fart in your face), are willing to argue for an hour that vinyl records just sound better than digital, and know that iPads are mainstream but are using one ironically there is a pretty good chance you will get your aviator sun glasses pushed into your face with my fist. If you are doing all that while riding a fixie there is a very good chance it will happen.
