I’ve wondered about the connection between indie rock and indie food long before I posted the previous entry about Laura Ann. A friends says it makes sense - we all went to shows together and stayed out late when we were younger, so now we want to stay out not-so-late and have great meals with those same friends. And naturally we want to work in that business if we can.
I think there’s truth to that - we are running farmers markets, repping chefs, making jam and pizza and chocolate and more, and are in positions of relative power at food-related businesses - but there’s more to it.
The young farmers, textile artists, soapmakers, etc - I’m paying attention.
