actually, the jam scene is full of bears and twinks.  most wear hats too.  and i'm sure that quite a few of them ride the all aboard gay express.  widespread has the better looking crowd, i must say.  thank you so much brian for your . . . input. 

Thanks for enlightening me.  I thought the poor hygiene along would be a non-starter.  Don't they give you Paul Mitchell Clarifying and Fancy, Fancy Love by Jessica Simpson when they give you your card?

the knowledge of hair products you posses is amazing.  your locks must smell terrific.  i just use this stuff called "yes to carrots."  not everybody in the scene has poor hygiene, though.  stereotyping is so mel gibsonish.  you are welcome for the information.  anything else you like to know about cock obsession?

In case Brian wants to stereotype another homosexual board member by their live music preferences, I'll offer my favorite shows of the year thus far.
