Someone Familiar in New York Magazine
A belated shout out for, um, us. New York Magazine has a great article on blogging this week and they were kind enough to mention us. [from NY Mag]:
FREE WILLIAMSBURG
What Is It? Hipster heaven
Who’s Behind It? Robert Lanham, 34
Based Where? Williamsburg (of course!)
Rank: No. 6,885
The site covers things ‘burg locals are interested in‚Äîindie music, being ironic, and knowing which hipster events to bring their PBR to. The blog doesn’t earn Lanham much spending cash, but it has given him some breaks. ‚”I secured my first book deal when an agent stumbled upon an abbreviated version of The Hipster Handbook I’d posted on my site back in ’99.” Next up: a redesign of the site and a third book.
Hey, alright! I found about your site by reading the Hipster Handbook a couple of years back…loved every page of it…I still tell people about that book…keep up the good work…
yeah, but who’s the elvin-human-animal hybrid in the illustration?
i think thats the pancake man, if im not mistaken.
