Mustachular
It has come to my attention that mustaches and beards have exploded as the trend. As my friend Brian Walker exclaimed on Facebook, “The beard fashion is out of control!”
I was playing at a bar in Kalamazoo and every male had a beard. I was the only clean shaven guy in the place.
This reminds me, my college friends are trying to continue an annual event called the Mustachular, an event created before the epidemic of facial hair fashion took off.
Of course, the mustachular–a month long mustache cultivation that ended at a local pub to display–would be planned the month I had Parent Teacher Conferences while I was teaching at HHS, so of course I would have to look like an odd idiot during conferences if I wanted to participate. (Which I did.)
Let’s revisit:
I think it’s time to host another mustachular. If anything, this creates a reason to get my friends together, which we don’t do enough.
