Hey yall. It’s me, Carles–a blogger. I am ‘hosting’ some party in Chicago. Not sure what that means, but I think it means I ‘get paid’ for ‘being a chill bro’ and ‘lending my brand’ to this party. Hope it ‘works out.’
Party Flyer:
Major ‘Party-Throwing Company’ Underwriting the Event: Industreate
Name of Party Brand: Branded Up
Location: Congress Theater Chicago
Date: Friday June 19, 2009
DJs/Performers: The Rapture – dj set, HeartsRevolution, The Rub, DJ Funk, Guns N Bombs presenting the debut of Deathface, Jordan Z, Rob Threezy, Gatekeeper – dj set , Kid Color, Black Holes and Thunderous Olympian
“Hosted by”: Trash Menagerie & CARLES of the popular weblog HIPSTER RUNOFF.
Photos by: Clayton Hauck Everyoneisfamous.com
Tickets: $16.00 pre-sale, and $19.00 in advance via TICKETWEB.COM & CLUBTIX.NET
Ticket giveaway: Enter to win tix at Trash Menagerie.
Hope that this partie is ‘chill.’ Hope that the artists are still ‘relevant.’
Sorta just want to chill in Chicago and see if the ’scene’ is worth moving to. Looking for a new scene. Just want to meet Michael Jordan.
Does n e 1 know something ‘fun’ 2 do in Chicago?
Did Carles ’sell out’ again?
Will u chill with ‘Carles’ in Chicago?
Is there a lil bit of Carles inside of every1?

@Drew., it was the part where ur declared ur inability to go as ’sad.’ y shud it be sad 4 strangers? silly. plus ross made a funny out of it.
crazy how anonymity makes ppl more confident and outgoing, but at the same time hyper sensitive to shit.
jus want 2 go 2 “fun events”

@Katie maybe they spent their parents $15 to go to Debonair. If UR parents cut you off, you could have got in free, “authentic hipsters” are on the list

considering you are a ‘modern day oscar wilde’ but with an ‘overproliferation of ””quotation marks’ I would hang out with you but only b/c you are a ‘parody”” of a real person, whoever that ‘may be’

Sellout
Reply
i am so tired of my favorites ‘artists’ ’selling out.’
i have eaten canned lima-tofu and stolen dessert wine f4r 4 yrs and this is how my ‘authenticity’ is repayed?
hey com e to portland, OR carles i bet you could host a grouper/starfucker show (via local talents).

Can’t smoke weed inside of the Congress. They will kick you out. Also, can’t afford $16…we’re in a recession.

Heard a bunch of Joker Alts were gonna show up [via dark knight being filmed in chicago]. Sorta hopes CRLS doesn’t actually “show” or “attend”. Just hopes he gets “$$$” for lending his brand. Don’t see too much brand dilution here, at worse the party sux and only like 200 people know that. CRLS <3’s NYC. But srsly bro, let me know if you need helping getting to the windy city yo!

@daffy, thought there was?? thought that’s why ppl read this–cuz people r essentially the same (via branding) and CRLS got down some timeless, profound, and easy to identify with thoughts. like pop literature for tweens (going on 25)
when HRO dies and goes to blog heaven, there should be a big bbq wake in a public park in LA, tucked between all the colorful and authentic mexican birthday parties. then at the end, after we finish the all the pizza and ice-cream cake, and everybody’s legs are tired from the bouncy castle, CRLS gets up on stage and says “i am hipster runoff.” and then another alt stands up and says, I am hipster runoff, and every1 does that and starts the free love movement again in the 21st century (via sparks fueled gangbanging of the only girl who shows up)

Ya’w, I’d tag my house if i’d get paid for doing it. Posting something on my “irrelevant” blog/vlog/shlog would be even less of a deal

i wont go to the party bc it’s ‘unauthentic’ and ‘entry level’ and everyone will just go to get their pics on http://www.everyoneisfamous.com. nothing is ‘authentic’ in chicago. but if you show up and want to be part of the ’scene’, go to wicker park

I’m not going even though I live down the street. Too much money I’d rather buy some weed, and go to an authentic house party in logan square and drink pbr and jameson.
And Chicago is authentic, but also filled with a shit load of entry lvls. Cause we have Columbia and Saic here, its like a freaking alt factory!

Seems like a chill partie 4 entry lvls that want 2 “pay 2 b seen (scene?)”. Think I’ll spend my monies on weed and vinyls, chill with my altbros and partake in the purchases with some old skool mario partie. Seems more authentic.

Chicago is the top us city for now. You’ll see why.
