Saturday night was a great night for viewing long hair, both male and female. I'll describe briefly a few of the people I saw.
* Well, the first one was actually on Friday, but it's pretty significant. I ran into a couple who I had seen before at the Tornado Jam, which was a benefit concert benefiting the victims of the Jarell tornado. Barb had blonde hair almost down to her knees. The guy she was with, Dan, also had long hair, about mid-back in a braid. We talked for a while, and Dan was thrilled to hear about the long hair-related internet sites.
* On Saturday, just as I was parking my car, two guys walked right past me. I had seen these two guys before. One had short hair, and the other had hair almost down to his knees. If I had parked just two minutes earlier, I would have approached them and asked the long haired dude to be a willing victim of my Samson page. If any of you reading this knows him, have him contact me.
* On 6th Street, there were about half a dozen guys with hair as long or longer than mine, most of them thicker as well. One guy has a girlfriend along who had hair just past her butt.
* Another guy had long, grey hair, braided into three braids, the middle one was in the back, which he let hang down his back. The other two were on the sides, and rested on his chest. He was walking with two girls, both with butt-length hair. One had black, wavy hair. The other had reddish blonde straight hair.
* I ran into Dana again, a girl who goes around to all the clubs taking Polaroids of people for $5. She also has hair to her butt. She calls herself a hair farmer.
* There was a guy with a full beard and foot-long hair dressed in a tuxedo just standing around. At first I thought he was a limo driver. But the limo near where he was standing seemed to be being driven by someone else.
* I had my hair in a 4 strand braid (not in anticipation of meeting all these longhairs, but just because I felt like doing it). I like this style because it makes the braid twist from head to end.
* There was a guy who had all his hair twisted: he took a small clump of hair, twisted it tightly and pinned or somehow affixed it to his head so that the loop sort of made a twisted lump on his head. He had about 20 or so of these twisted lumps. His hair was died red and orange.
* Another guy had all his hair braided into small braids.
* A girl with waist-length hair had several small braids elegantly twisted and pinned up on her head.
* Several guys with midback-length hair had a pony tail arranged in a particularly handsome style: only the front half of the hair is brought together into a pony tail. The rest is let loose, somewhat constrained from flying around by the pony tail.
There were also dozens of other fabulous longhaired ladies who simply had waist-length or longer hair hanging loosely.
On a slightly different topic, on Friday, I tried a different style. I sort of created it on the fly while listening to blues. I'll describe it by telling you how to create it:
Take a small amount of hair from the front of your head and braid it.
Just behind the first clump of hair, take another clump of hair that is about twice as thick as the original clump of hair.
Divide this clump into two sections.
Braid the two sections and the original braid together.
Repeat until all your hair is used up.
The result is something that looks a little bit like a French Braid but a little more complex. Despite the fact that it's more complex, it's much easier to do (although it takes longer) than a regular French Braid. For those of you who can't do a French Braid, try this style instead.
WHERE DO U LIVE???????????????????????????
I live in Austin, Texas. I want to emphasize that although long hair is frequently sighted here, that night was unusually packed with long hair. It was also a strange night in some other ways, which I won't get into here.
