Well, there really isn’t one event that turns one into a hipster, but this event is pretty close.  My last day of school was on Friday (hurray), and also on that day, I went to The Union in Naperville to see The Vespers in concert! You’ve probably never heard of The Vespers, but they’re one of my favorite bands. The joint was a small old church building refurbished into “a venue for social change”. The concert had a house concert feel with only about a hundred people there. Oh, and did I mention that there was a coffee shop in the back? Yeah, like I said, it was totally a hipster shindig. The Vespers were amazing, of course. I can’t wait until they’re in the neighborhood again.

And, we got to meet three of the band members after the concert! I definitely felt “in”.  One of The Vespers even invited us to chill out with them later. So cool. We even got labeled as homeschoolers, but it’s okay because so was the band.

Throw in some great friends, dip cones, and swingdancing and it was pretty much perfection. I don’t think I could think of a better way to start my summer!

{sidenote: I looked up the word “hipster” in the urban dictionary. It’s worth reading.}
