an object lesson
in pretentiousness:
while walking around minneapolis, I saw perhaps the most pretentious place possible. Here’s what must have gone through the owner’s minds:
“How do we make the most pretentious place possible?”
“Wine bar!”
“Good start! But how do we make it more pretentious? We’re talking George Clooney pretentious!”
“Hmmm….”
“Wait! I’ve got it! ADD COFFEE!!!!”
“Brilliant!”
“Brilliant!”
and thus Willie’s Wine Bar and Coffee House of Minnepolis was born. I didn’t have the courage to peek into their windows to see the prices. I think the amount of noses in the air at that place would have been an unpleasant view.
