Dads are the Original Hipsters

Your dad had a crusty group of friends before you did. 

I think the only time I been more excited for something was when I stole my dad’s camera. Come join me tonight at the Woodshop in Clarkston for the first Dads are the Original Hipsters book signing and bourbon tasting. My dad will be there signing books too.  

Just a reminder, this Saturday I will be doing a book signing in Clarkston, Michigan. I will be signing books with the man who inspired the blog. Hope to have a drink with anyone who can make it out.

Your dad was a hot blooded beast. When Old Man Winter rolled into town, he poured a glass of “fuck you” and gave a middle finger salute to the cold. He was an optimist who could see the benefit in every situation.  When winter rolled into town, he realized it was nature giving him the largest walk-in beer cooler known to man and an excuse to keep growing in his face-scarf.

So hipsters, when you’re bitching about the cold while wearing a jean jacket with multiple layers of cardigans under it because winter jackets aren’t cool, remember this…

No matter how cold it got, your dad never had shrinkage.
