Unfortunately, the ass pictured above — please forgive (or be grateful, depending) the grainy camera phone shot, which does not quite do justice to the pebbled, doughy flesh — may be the most widely photographed posterior at this year’s Siren Music Festival. The gentleman might also get the prize for most gratuitous ass flash. And among the scantily dressed attendees, that’s saying something. He totally beat the guy wearing only a pair of soggy briefs, wet presumably from an ocean dip and not, heavens, perspiration.

There he was, parked in the middle of Stillwell Avenue, halfway between the stage and Surf Avenue. A girl wandered into my shot, apologized, then backed up and fished out her own phone for a quick snap. Though everyone who’d noticed his mottled ass had given him a wide berth, it didn’t stop them from surreptitiously stealing a quick photo.

The best thing was to watch one person notice, then try to nonchalantly gesture to his friend(s) to look that way. Their eyes told the whole story. “What? What am supposed to be I looking at?” “Oh lord is that man’s bikini tucked into his ass crack?” “Quick, Where is my effin’ camera?”

Whoever this grizzled music lover/beach bum is, his ass is gracing a thousand Flickr accounts right about now.
