The event has already passed, but the details are lolz.

LOOK AT THIS F*CKING PANEL: A SOCIOLOGICAL DISCUSSION ON THE HIPSTER:

Date: Monday, October 11
Time: 8-9:30PM

What defines the modern-day hipster?

Why is “hipster” a dirty word?

-It’s a really obscure number, and you probably haven’t heard of it…

-That joke is SO 2009.

Join us as we attempt to address these questions and more in an open forum discussion on the cultural impact of the hipster.
