I was initially going to inquire as to whether or not this "ad" was serious, but then I came to the sad realization that - of course it is. Clearly there are aspiring hipsters who think it is a cool bonus for a pseudo A capella performer to have tattoos, be able to excessively drink beer, and have read an overtly obvious "punk rock cred" book. And obviously these people use the term "party peoples." Thank you for posting the ad, because otherwise I might hve been tempted to waste my time auditioning.

It's tongue-in-cheek, calm down. we're just a bunch of dorks who love music and the feeling that comes from a mass of people raising their voices together.

*allow me to judge you now, bedazzledinertia. with this name, you're telling me that you love the 80's, and the irony of loving the 80's. you also want people to know that you are "smart", and perhaps "nerdy" (read: the new cool) by putting inertia in there. inertia also ups the irony quotient, as inertia is a principle and therefore cannot be bedazzled. brilliant, I am convinced that you are clever enough to cash in on general terms that would endear you to any middle of the road hipster.

I'm pretty sure I found your blogger profile, (is that too creepy?) which reinforces my theories; it's a veritable list of pre-approved "hip" interests. Catcher in the Rye, check. good work.

maybe it's not yours? maybe it is and I'm just being mean? well, I guess that's what happens when you make snap judgements based on sweeping generalities.

Sincerely,
Mother


*comments reflect the views of one glee club member and do not necessarily reflect the views of the entire glee club. fffft.

If you are reading this blog and counting hipster points, pro and con, it's probably best you don't roll with the Glee Club. Glee Club is like four actually hip people [I'm not kidding, irony-free, they are amazing] and some people with kids, some social workers, some secretaries, Paul does data entry, you know. For fans of words like "bedazzledinertia" you'd think there would be more props for a bunch of grown folks wanting to sing the songs we like and wear outfits and have fun, but so rolls the media circus, backlash and back-backlash, attacking our friends for trying too hard in earnestness. For you budding and wilting sociologists, Glee Club is also a painful exercise in syncing the loves, hates, and voices of 30 grown ass folks, so there's that. It's the best thing ever. Hey Miles, come to a practice sometime. There are snacks, on occasion. Remember when Larissa's mom made all those Polish pastries with the cream cheese? Damn.
