just a quick, public fyi: does everyone remember
this picture?
well, whether you do or not, that's from september 2007, and the girl's name is courtney. she was(/is? i have no idea + it's unimportant) ryan's friend, and this was her birthday party. she also mentioned him in her
journal in 2006 (his ~queer costume, lmao. obviously summer tour) where she coincidentally mentions z berg from the like.
in conclusion: ryan ross has been connected to z/the like/hipster culture since 2006. just because we're seeing pics of him + them NOW, when people are good at stalking the fuck out of facebook and such, doesn't mean he hasn't always hung out with these people. he has not ~changed drastically~ and if you liked him in 2006 but hate him now for a reason having to do with the people he's friends with, maybe you should re-evaluate your hatred?
