Close the blinds, lock the doors and hide the beard wax! Another hipster is on the loose in Edmond!
Last week, the Edmond Sun profiled a local "hipster" named Landon Hurlbut. He's a hipster because he's younger than you, wears skinny jeans, drinks coffee, shops at thrift shops, sings at his church, etc.

Hipster: A day in the life; Millennial trendsetter shares his style
He showed up with the appearance of Breakfast Club member John Bender, with his jean jacket and plaid shirt tied around his waist. He wore black skinny jeans, which under his philosophy, are "essential to life." Black Chuck Taylor Converse All Stars completed the ensemble. He was wearing the uniform of a hipster.
Urban Dictionary defines a hipster as a person in their 20s and 30s who "values independent thinking, counter-culture, progressive politics, an appreciation of art and music, creativity, intelligence, and witty banter."
To the naked eye, 20-year-old Landon Joseph Hurlbut is a hipster.
He is a big supporter of the unique, going against the masses, all in all being different.
Hurlbut is an avid coffee drinker, owner of six guitars, and lover of vintage items.
He lives the life of the modern day beatnik spending his days in cafés pondering the many meanings of art, music and life.
I had the opportunity to venture into his world and observe the lifestyle — a millennial trend — he exudes.
I know what you're thinking. How can the Edmond Sun profile an Edmond hipster and not select Chase Reeser – the Hipster Prince of Edmond? He's a thing of hipster beauty!
