It was Hipster Heaven at Rag and Bone

The Rag and Bone show was so oversubscribed that the organizers needed a separate room for the overflow.  The people seated in the wallflower room had the forlorn air of a bunch of teenagers who hadn’t been asked to the prom so, instead of taking our seat in there, we opted to stand and watch the action Read More
