Caveat: Like Seinfeld After Time Spent At Burning Man

I recently saw the first episode of a show called Portlandia. It has a bit of a Seinfeldian vibe, in the abstract, but cross-pollinated by a lot of hippies and hipsters and other hip-related-objects. I've never lived in Portland, but I grew up in a kind of rural extension of Portland's culture-sphere known as Humboldt County, California. The show is an utter exaggeration, but the germ of the cultural factors parodied in the show is to be found in Humboldt, there's no doubt.

What I'm listening to right now.

Portlandia, "Dream of the 90's." Arguably, this video is NSFW – for semantic content.

Incidentally, I think I recognize that neighborhood in LA where they're walking around, in the video.
