Hipstery Journal

Facebook Fan Fri-Tuesday

We got swamped with our Valentines promo and so we didn’t kick off the first of our weekly planned Facebook Fan Friday giveaways. Now we’ve regrouped and rested after creating several beautiful love poems, and one letter of recommendation. It was a lot of fun, but perhaps more work that we anticipated, in future your love lives will be your own concern I think ;)

1. How did you find out about our mystery service?

My girlfriend Alicia Ochsner actually referred me to you guys, basically sending me a link to the Facebook page saying “hey, Hipstery = Hipster + Mystery, you should join, any questions?” And well, of course with that kinda explanation there were no questions. Once I mentioned to her that I won the shirt, she immediately claimed that she should get it, but oh well, her fault for not being good at random contests. That being said, if you guys send her something, she said she would totally love you forever, and Alicia’s love isn’t cheap, so you should totally go for it.

[Editors Note: Alicia also gets a free shirt then. Yeah. Nice. This blatant generosity might be what’s fueling the explosion of new friends to our Facebook Fan page. Are you one yet?]

2. Tell us an obscure fact you know that we probably don’t

The world’s biggest rock-paper-scissor tournament had 1150 people in it. How many of them made the poor decision to throw paper first, I’m not sure.

[Editors Note: You are correct Flynnster, I did not know this, and that is fascinating. Also that growing up here in Europe we always called it paper-scissors-stone.]

3. What’s the last thing that happened which made you giddy with happiness?

Finding out one of my friends still owns a working N64, and pulling off the button timing for a fast Mario Kart start on my first try. An entire childhood well spent.

[Editors Note: An N64? What is this technology you speak of? Is it Alien? You are so blessed to live in America. Just last night I was at a LAN party here playing the latest hot game we have in East Germany, Repton on my BBC Micro. Have you seen it? It’s very impressive, graphically superior even to anything I could draw with a crayon]

4. Rikard loves milk, what do you love?

Winning Hipstery shirts?

5. Tell us about your favourite t-shirt site

Dirty Coast – they’ve got shirts that have a really local feel. And to anyone in New Orleans, they’re completely understandable and fun.

[Editors Note: Good tip, well designed, probably not general enough for most of the shirts to fit the Hipstery, but an excellent niche t-shirt site]

Thanks to Flynn for taking the time to answer our inane questions, and to Alicia for inviting him to our Facebook group. Look for another FFF on Friday.
