>>800039having lived in the bay area for a good majority of my life i can tell you that OP is probably a student at UCB or stanford who came here from the east coast to "get enlightened by the west coast" and treats everyone like they're dumber than him just because his parents have an old colonial home in connecticut and raised him with a dining room table that has a cloth on it because that somehow makes him more civilized and gives him a better understanding of the 'big picture' of the world that the rest of us in lower classes are ignorant to. he usually shops at american outfitters (or similar) but has started going to the buffalo exchange on telegraph in berkeley because they sell the same goddam clothes american outfitters (or similar) does but they're 2nd hand and they will somehow allow him to absorb the west coast culture better. in his dorm/studio/shared house or whatever i predict a poster he bought from hot topic of one of the following: bob marley, kurt kobain or sublime. he also owns one of the following: a fixie (fixed gear bike) a pair of brightly colored knock off raybans or a rubber bracelet supporting some cause he knows nothing about
