Oh, this hipsterville to hipsterville concept has potential be wicked awesome, or an ultimate fail. Ellen Page and two others are writing and executive producing a comedy that "follows two painfully cool hipster girls as they relocate from Brooklyn's Williamsburg neighborhood to Los Angeles' Silver Lake enclave in hopes of becoming artists -- of any kind," reports the Hollywood Reporter.

The team behind the single-camera comedy, called "Stitch N' Bitch," also includes Alia Shawkat and Sean Tillmann. Shawkat played Maeby Fünke on Arrested Development and Tillmann you may know as Har Mar Superstar (tonight's rock pick) and Sean Na Na. The three recently worked together on Drew Barrymore's Derby Doll-inspired "Whit It," which opened last weekend.

Oh wait...this isn't a joke? I thought was reading the Onion for a second.

"artists -- of any kind,"

I feel sick.

If you don't like this show it's because you totally don't understand it.

Over a year ago I made the move from a Williamsburg "adjacent" neighborhood (Greenpoint) to a Silver Lake "adjacent" neighborhood (Los Feliz) and find nothing about the experience worth mentioning. YAAAAWWWWWNNN on this concept.

Agreed. I also moved out here from Greenpoint. Hollywood must really be out of ideas.

Maybe an episode will show them becoming "artists" at Jumbo's Clown Room or the Spearmint Rhino...

And to think my friends called me crazy when I said I hate Ellen Page.

Two painfully cool hipster girls hugging with their legs in friendship?

I'm there.

doh, you pipped me in the TV Junkie

Could be cool. I may have to actually watch something...

I'm pitching HBO a show about 2 hipster girls who move from Williamsburg, Brooklyn to Williamsburg, VA, to play colonial blacksmiths. I call it "Forging Ahead."
