Gather 'round, children, and let me tell you a story.
2004. Sundance film festival. Park City, Utah.
Acoustic sets!
Just two boys, their guitars, and enough sexual tension to kill Jerry Falwell.

Important to note, here: in these photos, Nick and Tyson are younger than Jwalk (toby fails at maths) and Ryan Ross are now, respectively.
SERIOUSLY.
The boy is eighteen NINETEEN.
But it's okay
We're all going to hell.
But, besides merely being adorable, this halcyon period provided us with the GREATEST HITS OF NICK AND TY GAY. All the best shots? Are from their honeymoon trip to Sundance. Witness:
He's just, you know. Touching. Like you do. If you're gay.
Tyson!sliver. Plus, um, touching. Yeah.
I don't know what's going on here, but it's pretty gay.
And Nick Wheeler, bless his (TWENTY ONE YEAR-OLD) soul, is totally okay with that.
Also, the boys chill (gayly) with some celebrities:
Who's this dude? What's going on, here? WHO STOLE ALL THE STRAIGHT FROM THIS PHOTO?
I have no words.
Lastly, I give you a progression of gay. Note the positions of Tyson's hands.
From not-so gay.
To a little gay.
To kinda gay.
JACKPOT!
You know they were sharing a suitcase -- check out the universality of the eighties bandshirt!
Yes. A little bit retro, but a lotta bit good.
