Leisure, 2011 Style

This season it's all about being seen downtown with classier people than you'd normally hangout with. This means drinking Big Rock in the alley instead of Brewhouse, and sipping on gin and juice instead of just gin. So you've got to cut your homeless friends loose. Generally, you can tell one of your friends is too into the homeless scene when strangers tap their shoulders and offer to buy them coffee, or give them directions to the Mustard Seed. This used to happen to me at the university, back in 2010 when that lifestyle was trending.
