Double meaning is the guy who picks up the litter in his nightclub.

  When you spent your precious youth creating XEmacs, mozilla, and netscape navigator, you're sure as hell allowed to have a pet nightclub; can you think of a better way to hack the popularity problem than to own a kickass music venue for hipsters? Don't hate the playa, hate the game! ;-)

    I didn't think his comment was negative. It seems weird that it's downvoted. However, since you mentioned it... DNA is a weird spot. It's a great space. JWZ obviously tried to recreate a subculture that was never hugely popular but sort of maybe had its heyday and died in the 90s. The sort of only-in-SF cyber-industrial-goth thing. Front242, Throbbing Gristle and Cabaret Voltaire remixes. Every guy looks like Robert Smith with a top hat, wearable computer, and zombie boots. Proto-burning-man meets blade runner sort of thing. It's definitely not a favorite for hipsters. It only comes close on mashup night, and even those "hipsters" are all 38 years old. The whole hipster in SF thing is bit of a hoax. All those hipsters are really web designers who went to Stanford, which wasn't really hip ever, but certainly hasn't been hip since 1999. What is now known as hipster in SF was called "yuppie" 20 years ago. It's just different brands of shoes and alcohol - even the tight pants remain the same.

      I didn't downvote the poster above, but it's unfair of him not to address the article and its content, and its make a snide remark about how the author makes his living nowadays. Borderline ad hominem, imo.

    I wasn't trying to get at JWZ, I was just making a silly unrelated joke, almost a pun. I don't have anything against him. But I'll try and be more clear next time.
