Freemasonory for Dummies. Isn't that The Da Vinci Code?

See, that's the sort of order you make in person just to see the expression on the clerk's face.

I recently met a hipster in Seattle who was a Freemason. Are there many Freemason hipsters in Seattle? Is Freemasonory the new mustache?

Freemasonry for Dummies is somewhat informative, but it is not very well written.

@ 3 My boyfriend is a Freemason but he is from Philly. He is not a hipster. We do know some Brothers here who are either hipsters or hang with hipsters. One of them tattoos at Hidden Hand and is awesome.
