Balkan jams, small presses, tailor gawking, the Iliad, spelunking, barbecuing, hootenannies, cooking, eating, stickin' it to The Man, bhangra, napping, memorizing "Crossing Brooklyn Ferry," physics, hoedowns, sewing, marching bands, feminism, singing, biology, shakin' it, Homestar Runner, biking in NYC like a bat out of hell, camping, running around Brooklyn dressed like a zombie. The occasional kayak.
People who know how shit works. People with strange combinations of skills. Tuba-playing paleoclimatologists. People who can weld altoids tins into robots. People who wear fuckin' spats.
