No contest complete without great music - Rory Roux Lay, or sometimes DJ Meat, is a CT based drag performer and DJ. They mostly use their skills for good (playing pop music on weekend nights), but love using them for evil as well (making the most cursed mashups you’ve ever heard). Rory thinks the bears are very cool, and is excited that they’re once again letting this t***k into the booth for the Connecticut Bear contest.
