BSS and Stars...

[Bags]

By the way fellas, we learned something very important at this show that, while we have probably seen it coming, is a done deal for sure at this point.
 
 Goatees -- OUT
 Full beards -- IN
 
 If you're a cool indie dude, at least.    :p

I didn't realize indie dudes were old enough/masculine enough to grow full beards.

If I were a girl and a 45-year old foreign, goateed car-salesman approached me offering free tickets, I'd run away. [/b]

Were you abused as a child by someone in the automobile industry?

You missed BSS -- coupla good beards there.  One shortly cropped by the cute singer with the way high voice, and a fuller red one on the little guitar dude with the St Patrick's Day green satin jumpsuit jacket and trucker hat on...

I guess everyone is trying to copy the Drive By Truckers these days...

I have a goatee because it suits me and I like it...I've had one since the days they weren't cool, then cool, then not, then cool again etc.....I had a full beard during my Falkland Islands stint and didn't like it one bit...my beard is red, (where it's not gray these days), so a full beard makes me look like an angry Scotsman.
 
 When were indie dudes ever cool by the way?

[Bombay Chutney]

Oh, and by the way...it was very cool to finally meet a few of you last night.  Too bad it was as we were ready to head out the door.  Next time the first round's on me.

What does Pitchfork say about full beards? They would be the source to turn to in figuring out whether they are cool or not.

this babe prefers the goats...full beards look kinda gross and too fatherly for a young guy (or my husband or mankie, ha ha)...OR they look too hippie-ish...I don't dig hippie guys

I'd be interested to see what Bigyawn has to say about them.

City indie dudes are cool.  Obviously suburban indie dudes can't be cool, as the suburban part trumps the indie....
     
 
 Except for nkotb, skeeter and sparx!  (red, I don't count you; you don't live out far enough!)

p-fork doesn't mention full beards, and while pop matters doesn't mention *full* beards in particular, it does mention beards...

Well, BigYawn has a goat, and his girlfriend would kill him if he tried to grow a beard... though I gotta say growing my hair out a little and having a full beard would be cool for a little while. Problem is, the beard would come in a little patchy. On other men, I think it just depends on what you look better with. Some guys look goofy clean-shaven, or with full beards. Individuality is the new hipster thing...

You have to live in a 'cool' city to be cool...so Washington DC trumps any 'indie coolness' anyone may have, beard or no beard!
