Richard's Hipster Pick for Monday Night: Matt Cl.thier at Henry's!

Everyone knows that LC fan-favorite Cl.thier plays gigs for the party crowd once a month at the Yacht Club, fearlessly facing down plastered frat boys who either (a) seem puzzled as to why a crooner is playing in the corner while they're trying to get more fucked up, or (b) want to join him on stage for Dave Matthews tunes [or both].

But many don't realize that Cl.thier also graces the stage at more hipster-oriented joints, such as tomorrow at Henry's Upstairs, where he will perform a set consisting of equal parts original tunes and a few well-chosen hipster covers (The Replacements?). All hipsters have a not-so-secret soft spot for sensitive singer-songwriters (a genre they often insist on referring to these days as 'lo-fi bedroom pop'). And Cl.thier's gigs at Henry's come with a guarantee: "If you don't think my songs are at least 10% more sensitive than other sensitive singer-songwriters, I'll give you your money back!*" See you at the show!

I have arrived - an LC Hipster pick!

Now, if I can only get a "Best of Lawrence" award in "Lo-Fi Bedroom Pop," my Larryville life will be complete!

Once again, I've defeated Chip and Richard in the "best local character" category! They never get to bang the nubile coeds like I do!

I would also like to thank the Chronicles for the free advertising! Alas, it appears that paragon of Larryville snobbery, lawrence.com, failed to publish my recently submitted event. Oh well - Larryville's loss!
