And yes...we are capable of noting the ability, or lack thereof, to move even closer to the stage. We make the mental calculations based on two issues...

Is there room down there to (reasonably) comfortably fit one, or in your case two more people?

How can we navigate to the target without stomping someone in the process?


The "bro's" take no such issues into consideration...they see the stage, they lean forward and proceed "further". Rather awkward when your spot is the one they targetted. Now, you've got almost enough room to stand there with your arms pinned to your sides.


And yes...there always seems to be enough beer to spill a little on you.
They own shirts. Fine shirts. You just have to catch them early enough in their broministrations. Back in the days you recall, they were Izod. Now they tend to be Abercrombie & Fitch. But they own the very finest of everything, have brought it with, and by god they're gonna use it. A bro thinks nothing of moving directly in front of you, and immediately calling another bro, to find out how the trip to the bathroom is going. And if you're in a line waiting to use the john, you know that other bro is gonna take the call while standing at the urinal.

But a bro can be generous. He will stand in front of you, and hold his camera up to record, allowing you to watch the show on the little screen on the back......

But yes, Dead shows were home field for our ilk, they never lasted there.

And really, I think bros should be free to pursue their bromances, at bro type functions. I don't show up at frat parties and act like i'm not a dick. It would be rude and inappropriate.
