You Could Star (But Please Don't Star) In Entourage: Lower East Side

Woof. I read in Variety (I did not read in Variety) that the tentative title for this show was Your Show, until they figure out a better name for it, like Barf Town: Population Assholes. Seriously, everything about this looks like it was taken from a science textbook about Things That Are Objectively The Worst. From Craigslist:

Dominicans, hispanics, indie rockers, bartenders, and most of all Hipsters! Hipsters! (not to be confused with Hipsters With Tattoos, although there will be those as well) from the people who brought you Entourage? This show wins the award for Show That Most Makes Me Want to Shoot Myself in the Face Before It Has Even Been Filmed. This guy knows what I'm talking about:

"Elementary, Professor Watsons."

Yuck.

Just another step towards hipsters becoming the new vampires. I predict next year's Utah corn mazes will be looking very "hip."

Can we discuss how much I hate the word hipster, is that something that can be done? Because I really don't like that word. Its a mom word used to describe a counter culture, that's what it is.

There is nothing the slightest bit counter-cultural about being a hipster.

For about three hours one day -- before my super found it and took it down -- there was a flyer taped up in the vestibule of my apartment building, seeking people who lived in cool, New York-y type spaces who were willing to let the production film there. My favorite detail: The flyer's big boast about the show was that it starred "Luis Guzman (Magnolia)". Because when I think of Luis Guzman movies, I think "Magnolia".

Should note: The "cool, New York-y" designation was theirs, not mine. And that only an LA-based production company would look at my building and think it fit that description.

I know, right? Everyone thinks of "Carlito's Way: Rise to Power" when they think of Luis Guzman.

How about if I am a Domincan hipster with tatoos living in the hotest and trendiest locations? Typing this on my charmingly obsolete Royal on a Danish modern escritoire whilst reclining on my Eames lounger, forgetting that typewriters don't have spellcheck?

I'm hoping that, in this show, all of the listed categories will be formed into gangs who band together for one night to plot a city take-over and then wander the New York subway system in search of the guy who shot Cyrus.
