Look Ma! Hobohemians!

Like Snuffaluffagus, I am real and Nick Belardes got a picture of me chatting with The Blackboard's Francis Mayer late Tuesday night outside of Azul waiting on my friend AJ the DJ. For those who can't tell I'm the black chick on the right.

hobohemian: n. 1. a chronically underemployed, sometimes nomadic artist. 2. anyone who works, acts or directs at The Empty Space 3. a writer who is technically broke, yet somehow manages to keep from being homeless (see "Danielle Belton")

You know you're a "hobohemian" if —

... You can quote the resume of obscure film directors but don't know who won the last Super Bowl ...

... you've actually seen a Kurosawa film ...

... your Chuck All-Stars aren't just shoes, but a religion ...

... you think that everything new sucks and you have detailed reasons why ...

... you've worn something out of "irony" ...

... you've worn something stupid that you actually loved, but said you wore it out of "irony" to avoid ridicule ...

... more than once in your life a relative has suggested that you either A) cut your hair B) shower C) stop being so whiny D) see a therapist E) stop dicking around and get a real f-ing job ...

... you plan nothing ...

... you own a Nick Drake album ...

... you think Tori Amos is hot and you're mad at everyone who started liking Johnny Depp, like, yesterday because he was in that pirate movie. What about "Dead Man" people! DEAD MAN! ...

... all your music is on vinyl ...

... you make your own clothes ...

... you've always depended on the kindness of strangers ...

... you sometimes speak in rhyme couplets ...

... you smoke clove cigarettes and drink beers that cost more than your shoes, which you got for free at a garage sale ...

... you think paying rent, taxes or bills is optional ...

... you're not gay, but everyone thinks you are anyway and you somehow make that work in your favor every time ...
