A Hipper Crowd of Shushers – New York Times

ON a Sunday night last month at Daddy’s, a bar in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, more than a dozen people in their 20s and 30s gathered at a professional soiree, drinking frozen margaritas and nibbling store-bought cookies. With their thrift-store inspired clothes and abundant tattoos, they looked as if they could be filmmakers, Web designers, coffee shop purveyors or artists.

My friend Debbie will probably have seen this, but I’ll send her a link anyway – she’s a librarian, and once did a paper on the stereotype of the be-bunned, shushing librarian in quiet shoes in books.
