joe, the hipster from kansas

Just got back from a concert at Sonic, one of several peniche-style venues here in Lyon. Traversed by two rivers, the lyonnais apparently have a thing for partying on boats. My main draw to the concert was François Virot, who I had seen previously as the drummer of Clara Clara (pictured below) at another concert venue near the Gare de Vaise called Grrrnd Zero.
The set was just so-so (I preferred Clara Clara), but the people watching was excellent. Especially when my friends and I were approached by a hipster couple (Anastasia and Joe) from Kansas. Anastasia was a little tipsy, and was really eager to tell us -- well, anything, really. Joe was wearing those big hipster glasses and a woolen v-neck sweater and talked with a lisp. Ah, what a lovely pair.
