Hipsters Playing Tetris

This weekend I had the pleasant surprise of discovering a cool club called Tetris. It’s basically a house with a bar and a spot for a DJ or band. We first went there on Friday, when a DJ was spinning fun retro songs (including the Schoolhouse Rock multiplication tables). We went back on Sunday to hear a jazz band play while silent movies were projected behind them.

In attendance was the greatest concentration of hipsters I have seen outside of a First Friday or a Vampire Weekend concert. In the two nights I spotted:

• A guy wearing overalls
• A girl wearing a vintage red dress
• A guy wearing white pants and a striped shirt
• A guy smoking a pipe who looked like Gary Shteyngart
• White girl dreads
• Guys wearing summer scarves
• A girl wearing blowsy flower-patterned peg leg pants (circa 1993).
• Several guys who looked like Iron & Wine

It was nice to know that hipsters can find a home outside of America. Prishtina has a great live music scene. We will definitely be coming back to Tetris as soon as my lungs recover from the second-hand smoke.

NB: I highly recommend clicking on the Gary Shteyngart link as his Wikipedia picture is simply delightful.
