A brief observation
A casual observation from attending various spoken word events around Terminus has led me to realize that most of the guys doing readings can usually be broken down into one of three fashion archetypes.
1: The Anemic Lumberjack - Dudes who look like the Brawny paper towel mascot if he stopped hitting the weights, slapped on some thick black glasses and decided to sport a brevy of street cred worthy inks beneath his standard issue flannel shirt.
2: The Day-Glow Tiger - Straight out of the pages of Vice Magazine's "Do's" section comes a sexy-sleazy look best described as a coke addled male prostitute gone wild in a thrift store circa 1987.
3: The Henry Rollins Lite - Ugh, the worst! Aging ex-scenesters with freshly shaved heads, a modicum of gym enhanced muscles stretching out a one size too small black t-shirt and a palpable aura of cynicism that smells like teen spirit decades past the expiration date.
