Superficial artist types @ coffee shops
After someone posted “I would highly recommend Two Story to everyone, but I don’t want this place getting TOO popular, since I plan I going there to study EVERY DAY from now onward and would like a place to sit.”

“Jordan— You could study at the library, in one of the private carousels. You could even bring your own coffee in a thermos, or bring your own little pastry in your backpack. But then you wouldn’t be able to look up and see if anyone is looking at you, sitting there with your Sex Pistols shirt on and american apparrel scarf casually strewn about your neck. Being seen sipping your triple mocha latte crappachino just plants a flag of anti-establishment, cosmopolitan ideals, doesn’t it? I mean, why else would you go to a little coffee shop like this in Five Points unless it was to be seen by all the other artsy hipsters? Seems one would get more genuine studying done at home if one turned off the TV, the phone, the laptop, and set down the bong. But then again, no one can see you that way, can they, you superficial artist types?”
