Hipster's Guide

So. You're young, you're hip, you like your culture alternative. And while I may be young, and maybe even hip, my subculture antennae leave a bit to be desired (particularly when it comes to music). So what's a poor hipster to do? Well, allow me to do what no self-respecting journalist would ever do: send you to another source.

That's right! I'm confident that you'll come back. Besides, this other source is a veritable regional staple. It's called the High Plains Reader. Heard of them? Good, you can probably stop reading now and go pick up the latest issue.

What's this? You haven't heard of them? For shame! HPR is the perfect publication: it's free, it's readily available at businesses and public locations all over Fargo-Moorhead and around the region, it's got an extensive events calendar, and it tells it like it is, often covering what the Forum missed (or refuses to cover). All with a healthy dose of alt film and music lovin'.

Their website is currently under construction, apparently, but issues are available free all over the city: notably at the public libraries, grocery stores, and most local restaurants.

So go check it out! It's the closest thing to the Insider you'll ever find in print.
