Gingham as Social Lubricant: Everybody Loves A Smart Alex

Alex's Got Gingham and has no need to dazzle you with all the silly knowledge he's learned.

21st September, 2011 (Montreal) Social situations can be awkward, especially if you are one of those brainiacs that know everything about a certain topic. One thing about brainiacs is they tend to think a cocktail party is the time to tell us all the information they know rather than catch a good vibe with laughter and funny observations. That's when your eyes glaze over and you start hearing snippets of the conversation next to you, you start nodding and saying uh-huh without really knowing the true meaning of uh-huh. Then you might insert some comment just to prove you've been listening and what will happen? They will tell you that you are wrong!
The corridors are full of brainiacs who want into the party but don't realize they've been silently banned not because they KNOW TOO MUCH but because they've got bad timing. Parties are not the arena to show how smart you are to a girl or tell a guy he's wrong about the minutiae concerning the history of Hip Hop. Parties are for raising everybody's awareness for sure--but it's their awareness in humanity, feelings and the unspoken vibrations of the universe that get locked in after what scientists often refer to as 'Shared Experience.' All too often brainiac's "Shared Experience" involves having read the same comic book or geology dictionary. But there's a better way.
Rather than prove how smart you are, you can now just show just how smart you look. "Easier said then done," says the brainiac. Not true. Check out our man Alex here: totally sharp and not a word coming out of his mouth, yet we know, deep down in his heart lies a voice with all the answers in the universe. No conversation necessary: this Blue and White Gingham Forty-Five Alex brought to us from Brooklyn tells us every thing we need to know. Bored listening to this rant? Alex will wash the glaze from your eyes.
