hes not actually naked

max, Wednesday, 5 October 2011 17:47 (twelve years ago) link

and it's multiplied by 5 when the person isn't actually from NY but lives there now

Well I didn't move here just because I didn't have anywhere else to go. It was actually a conscious choice, which I consciously considered, as opposed to staying in Evangelical Capital of Crazy Land.

ice cr?m, Wednesday, 5 October 2011 17:51 (twelve years ago) link

col springs or boulder

manic pixie fream girl (rip van wanko), Wednesday, 5 October 2011 17:51 (twelve years ago) link

in terms of cities that i have been, i can say that nyc, boston, dc, la and san francisco are all not at all mellow

philly is sort of mellow

i guess honolulu is mellow but that feels like cheating

pdx is definitely mellow, on the other hand its more like "a big town" than a city

max, Wednesday, 5 October 2011 17:51 (twelve years ago) link

sausalito is mellow, marin in general, but its not really a city

ice cr?m, Wednesday, 5 October 2011 17:52 (twelve years ago) link

boulder is a good answer

i thought CO springs was super conservative, seems like th opposite of mellow

max, Wednesday, 5 October 2011 17:52 (twelve years ago) link

most of sf is mellow but when it's not mellow it's really not mellow

iatee, Wednesday, 5 October 2011 17:52 (twelve years ago) link

omg boulder is so not mellow, that place is fd in the head

ice cr?m, Wednesday, 5 October 2011 17:52 (twelve years ago) link

also not really a city

ice cr?m, Wednesday, 5 October 2011 17:52 (twelve years ago) link

SF is that weird thing where everyone thinks theyre really mellow but theyre wayyyy not mellow

max, Wednesday, 5 October 2011 17:53 (twelve years ago) link

otm

ice cr?m, Wednesday, 5 October 2011 17:53 (twelve years ago) link

yeah if a place is too mellow it's not really a city

Aerosol, Wednesday, 5 October 2011 17:53 (twelve years ago) link

i went to mission dolores park, seemed like a mellow scene, lots of weed, but on the other hand there was like 1m people there and someone was spinning dubstep on a big amplifier

max, Wednesday, 5 October 2011 17:53 (twelve years ago) link

california mellow

Mr. Que, Wednesday, 5 October 2011 17:53 (twelve years ago) link

being a yuppie is stressful

iatee, Wednesday, 5 October 2011 17:54 (twelve years ago) link

boulder has medical marijuana now though, that gives them a mellow pass

pathos of the unwarranted encore (underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned), Wednesday, 5 October 2011 17:54 (twelve years ago) link

well i mean boulder is just not big enough to be a city

ice cr?m, Wednesday, 5 October 2011 17:54 (twelve years ago) link

I love these threads.

you know what, I probably find nyc a boring city because everything is really expensive so I never do anything exciting there

(╯°□°)╯︵ mode squad) (dayo), Wednesday, 5 October 2011 18:00 (twelve years ago) link

the most exciting thing to do in nyc is go to maoz and get free refills from the salad bar #protip

pizza tipping bottle openers vampire weekend

Mr. Que, Wednesday, 5 October 2011 18:01 (twelve years ago) link

yeah I haven't really been to NYC, it's true; I oughta book a trip there some time just to see the museums which I understand are great. & I think big buildings are kinda cool! but it's not really my architectural preference. & intense people-walking-really-fast-ness isn't my thing either, but I think that's a big part of what NYC lovers love.

not hating btw, just saying I don't really get the appeal; but I reckon others feel the same way about Paris & I couldn't explain to them what's so great b/c it's just a vibe to me.

just walking around ny gazing at things is p amazing and free

ice cr?m, Wednesday, 5 October 2011 18:02 (twelve years ago) link
