Default Classic moment at work

Was doing my side gig at Starbucks this morning..working the bar...making everyones drinks, etc...and I glance up and this black dude (about my age...mid 30's) is getting out of his car. First thing I notice about him is that he is wearing a Kangol hat. I kinda snicker to myself...then think, ok..this cat is old school...I can respect that. Didn't pay alot of attention when he walked in as I was fairly busy, but after he ordered his drink and came down to my end to wait for me to make it, it was then that I noticed the t-shirt he had on....it was from a Nine Inch Nails concert!!! It took all my power to not bust out laughing. I can honestly say that I will most likely go the rest of my life without ever seeing a black man in a Kangol hat and Nine Inch Nails t-shirt.

I wouldn't go so far as to call Roanoke a 3rd world country, but... close.

I have come to dread the weekends at my other job. It is when the "locals" come down from the hills and into the "big city". These people frighten me.

I just wish they'd put one in closer to my apartment! Come on, there's room for more Starbucks in Harlem!

Speaking of fashion choices, though, Kev, in Harlem Studio Museum's gift shop there is always a corner devoted to a local artist. When I went last fall it was full of fashions designed by Sistahs of Harlem, who have made a name for themselves by crafting cool, funky outfits out of old clothing- very environmentally friendly, since it's good to reuse. There was a great dress I saw, the top half being an old T-shirt with "West Side Livery Stable" (why it caught my eye) and a horse and carriage on it. However, the cut was a little urban, and I was afraid I'd look like a big poseur if I tried to wear the dress- I am clearly a suburban Caucasian born and bred, as I'm reminded every time I go to an inner city high school. Then I took a close look at the bottom half of the dress and realized it was an old Grateful Dead T-shirt. "Hurray!" I thought, "you can't get more white than a Grateful Dead T-shirt! I am allowed to wear this!" So I bought the dress.

And the dress being basically two cotton t-shirts, it's really comfortable in hot weather!

It's trendy for hip hop fans to wear heavy metal/rock shirts. Particularly bands like Megadeth and Metallica. Funny stuff.
