According to the New York Times, men with guts are suddenly in fashion. Only they’re no longer “beer bellies” or a “paunch,” they’re called a “Ralph Kramden.” Too pronounced to be blamed on the slouchy cut of a T-shirt, too modest in size to be termed a proper beer gut, developed too young to come under the heading of a …

Chris and I drove through a downpour much of the way through the mountains this afternoon and about ten minutes after taking this photo, we got clobbered by another thunderstorm. Most of our stuff got soaked by sideways rain, despite the tarps, so at the moment I’m tent-blogging and hoping things let up in time for tonight’s bonfire party down …

Head over to Bearotic for a rundown of Belgian designer Walter Van Beirendonck’s latest bear fashion show. I’m not too crazy about some of the looks, especially the muumuu/house dress line, but the models are worth a gander. The link is possibly NSFW. Love the designer’s last name.

In came go-go boys, a leather shop, and a live DJ with a love for Britney and Madonna. Heavy, heavy sigh. A poster on the door gives the impression that “Ramrod has come back!” to …

Another boozy blurry Brooklyn Blowoff. I’m wiped. Two musical highlights: Bob Mould spun an astonishingly great remake of Klaatu’s Calling Occupants Of Interplanetary Craft. (You might know the Carpenters’ cover.) Then towards the end of night Rich Morel spun a remix of some old Faithless song that had me right back on the dance floor at SF’s Universe. Great night, …
