It’s officially official, I’m launching a Dad’s are the Original Hipsters giveaway. Unfortunately I can’t give away cases of PBR, but I think I’ve lined up the next best thing. But, before I tell you about that, here’s how you enter.
1) Scan your dad’s best old photos of him being awesome.
2) Send those awesome photos to dadsaretheoriginalhipsters@gmail.com
3) Put “Giveaway” in the subject line
4) Go tell your dad he’s way cooler than you’ll ever be.
I’m going to spend countless hours analyzing each photo for hipster gold. The best 3 will win. (The crazier the photos, the better your chances of winning.)
Here’s what you can win.

French Photographer Eric Valli takes a look at:
There are growing number of people
who have decided to live light on the earth
to not be a part of problem anymore
I spent the last few years with four of them
striving for harmony with nature
in the most pristine corners of United States.
Consumer demand creates jobs, not the wealthy 1%.
If you want to stimulate the economy, reduce taxes on employee earnings so that we have more money to buy products, thus increasing demand and the need for employers to hire to meet those demands. We would also have more money to spend on education, health care, travel, and new businesses.
Found some old audio tracks on a thumb drive. Can you identify who this is?
Despite its prevalence, living alone is one of the least discussed and, consequently, most poorly understood issues of our time.
[…]
Unfortunately, on those rare occasions when there is a public debate about the rise of living alone, commentators tend to present it as an unmitigated social problem, a sign of narcissism, fragmentation, and a diminished public life. Our morally charged conversations tend to frame the question of why so many people now live on their own around the false and misleading choice between the romanticized ideal of Father Knows Best and the glamorous enticements of Sex and the City. In fact…the reality of this great social experiment in living alone is far more interesting — and far less isolating — than these conversations would have us believe.
