White tigers=hot
I have a second and I would like you to ponder the popularity of white tigers with "hipsters". I put that word in quotes to indicate that it has pretty much lost all meaning cuz it's overused, but it's still useful sometimes. Anyway, I have always thought that white tigers were funny. I don't know why. Maybe it's the Sigfried and Roy thing. I know that when I went to the San Diego Zoo with Charles quite a few years back he got a white tiger t-shirt. So I'm basically saying that I liked white tigers before white tigers were cool, as the country song goes. But lately, I have seen at least two local hipsters with white tiger t-shirts, which makes me ashamed to wear the one that i picked up at a thrift store recently, and now there is the band so so many white white tigers. I think this is a great band name, especially considering that it sometimes seems that every good band name in the world (like Anal Mucous) is already taken. This band is playing tonight, along with a bunch of other bands, at 5th and G in Davis. Every fiber in my being is set against traveling across the yolo causeway again later tonight, but despite that, I'm planning to go.
my sis' girlfriend teaches at the rock 'n roll camp for girls up in portland. the girls she mentored a couple years back named their band "snow tiger" and aubrey was pissed that she didn't think of the name first. i don't know what that says about the relationship between hipsters and 12 year old girls in portland. but i think it says something.
