Beer Birthday Redux: Jay Brooks

March 3, 2013 By Jay Brooks

brookston
Today is my 54th birthday, and even though it’s still early in the day, I’ve already been overwhelmed by an embarrassment of riches from well-wishers sending me notes via e-mail, Twitter and Facebook. My sincere thanks to one and all. As it’s usually me posting embarrassing photos of friends and colleagues, for the fifth year in a row, here’s some more howlers of me from over the years.

JB-005
An early studio portrait.

JB-039
Motorcycles: just one of my youthful indiscretions that prevented me from seeking political office later in life.

JB-002
If I cut my hair short, it doesn’t look much different than this today.

JB-037
This is an Easter outfit from when I was maybe nine or ten.

JB-007
And this is the same outfit, which looks positively restrained in comparison to my Mother and my Grandmother’s Easter outfits.

JB-025
Ready to party, look out ladies.

JB-032
My first band, we were rockin’ out.

JB-026
Probably from around junior high or early high school. I love the shiny shirt, straight out of That 70s Show.

JB-024
The world of a teenager … circa 1977.

There’s many more where these came from, for a good laugh just check out the photos from the last four years at Beer Birthday Again: Jay Brooks, Beer Birthday: Jay Brooks, Beer Birthday: J (Yes, Embarrasing Myself This Time) and Beer Birthday Overkill, from 2009, when I posted a bunch encompassing my first 50 years on planet beer. Oh, and thanks once again to everybody for the generous birthday wishes.
