    My buddy @mfc2006 & I coined the term after PJ20.

    We were sitting in a huge field of traffic waiting to get out of Alpine & the topic of fanboys came up.

    If memory serves it wasn't discussed as something particularly negative at the time - just a funny play on words to describe big fans of the band. The boards have changed the meaning.

    I believe it now refers to the large contingent of frat boys who have always turned up at PJ shows over the years. something like that

    Generally unruly, very wasted behaviour.

    Or just plain ignorant to everyone around them. It's worse when they find their way into the ADA section and climb past the people in wheelchairs just to stand in front of them. Even worse is climbing over the wheelchair people and justify by telling the disabled person "just one minute so I can take a selfie." Jeezus!

    Not my term but the evenbros are worse when there's evenhos running in the herd.

    I just spit my coffee out. Fucking hilarious. Was explaining this phenomenon to my wife last night. Now have to add the Evenhos term to the explanation.

    I bought tix to Fenway 1 on line. It turns out they were ADA seats. I did not know what to expect. By no means did I intend to take a space designated for people in a w/c. I was even worried that I might get booted out for being not in a w/c. Turns out the w/c are lined up in front and companion seats are behind. No even bros made it to the section that night. Eddie gave a guy in a w/c a tambourine and then I gave the same guy my poster.

    I had an evenbro incident last night. Was in GA, at the rail that borders the friends/family/all access section of GA (about 15 feet back from the main rain), and had been there with my wife for hours (we flew in from Vancouver), when towards the end of the first set, 2 evenbros force their way into the rail, pushing two guys that had been there all day away. At which point evenbro #1 proclaimed to evenbro #2, "dude, you gotta piss here, if you don't piss here, it will take like 45 mins to go out to the bathroom and back" his friend then seemed apprehensious about pissing into the friends/family section (which would have notably been onto one older lady who had told us she had flown from Seattle and it was her 50th show), evenbro #1 then continues to urge evenbro #2 "c'mon man just take it out, no one will care or notice", when I say "yeah they will care, you can't piss here", at which point evenbro #1 gets in my face saying "yeah he can piss here". Resisting any urge to punch him in the face, and with his friend imminently about to piss, which would have sprayed all over the place, my wife got so disgusted she led us away from the area, and we watched the remainder of the show from the back of GA. Not the end of the world, still great view, but for a "10C members only section" I was pretty disappointed by these 2 evenbros.
