haha im a coffee shop whore, and i sit around there and write and draw and look at people but unlike ignoring people i'd probably be pretty happy if someone sparked a conversation with me, i like meeting new people. and a lot of the time im the one sparking conversation.
I don't know any "coffee elitists" but we just tend to get yuppies and such that always sit all day with their laptops and read wall street journal at the starbucks like 30 minutes away... and the coffee shop here is owned by some republican comittee president.
oh shit... I forgot all about the coffee shop/radio station/cafe behind my house. It's a actually jewish bakery but it has all kinds of stuff there...
I know - actually one of the smartest people I know smokes pot (quite seldom, tho) and I know it's just a stereotype - but it's the fact most people don't take the so called hippies seriously. It's true we'd have to deal with it - but in fact, it's true dozens of hippies fit the stereotypes, so it's quite silly saying most of people will ever get over the social image of hippies.. Nothing against you, anyway.
