There are all these new places in Canberra...like ten before two.
What's that?
It's a coffee place near the city.
Is it full of those hipsters??
Yes (he nods earnestly whilst pulling out the latest copy of quarterly essay*). It's a lot like... a Melbourne cafe.
With that he flicks opens the quarterly essay and pushes up his glasses - the conversation done. And all of a sudden it became apparent we actually have a hipster in our midst, seated in 3A. The classic Canberra intellectual hipster, such a political nerd that they don't actually recognise themselves as being hip...but they are in their own way and should be approached with caution.
* Full disclosure. I have a copy of quarterly essay on my coffee table. I haven't actually read it, I just keep it there for the optics.
