Mustaches for Kids Atlanta 2008 has raised over $12,500 for CURE Childhood Cancer and the donations are still rolling in!

The Stache Bash at Manuel’s Tavern was a raging success.  The Luddites provided music and the MC for the event as well as CDs of their greatest hits for raffle prizes.  We were blessed with a bonafide blitz by Atlanta’s one and only Seed and Feed Marching Abominables.  We had mad participation of over thirty growers.  Thanks to everyone for making this such a fantastic event.  

The kind folks at CURE Childhood Cancer have added Mustaches for Kids as a selection in the Events drop-down list of their donations page.  No longer are donors required to indicate in the comments field that they are donating for Mustaches for Kids.  Folks will still need to indicate in the comments field the grower on whose behalf they are donating.

Thanks for all the support for our cause.  We’ll most certainly be doing this again in 2009.

Okay Stachers, it’s on!  The event is going down like this:

Sign in and get your number.  Be sure to have you Stache Persona blurb (preferably on a 3X5 card).  Be there by 8:00 but if you can get in sooner, like at 7:30 to help set up, that would be great.

1st event - Parade of Staches - this is when we walk the catwalk, yeah the catwalk.  This is where your blurb will come in handy.  The judges will choose the growers from the parade to move to the next level.

2nd event - Mustache competition.  The growers chosen from the Parade of Staches will move to this level.  Judges will pick the growers to move to the next level.  I’m not going to say what the competitive events will be - it’s a surprise.

3rd event - Final competition. Two growers will be selected by the judges to compete in this event.  It’s another surprise.  Last man standing is the King of Stache.  There can only be one.

 There will be other things going on between events - sets by the Luddites, raffles and such.  At the close of our agenda we will read off the Stache Superlatives chosen by ballot by the crowd and award their prizes.  Our final act will be the crowning of the King of Stache.

 You will dig it the most.

Here at Mustache Central we like to share the love of the Mustache. Here is a photo of our youngest grower this year.

Great turn out at the Midway Pub for this weeks checkpoint! The staches have sprouted and are competing for prime real estate. I believe we have all the pictures up on the growers grid now so the betting can begin. Lets really start in hard on our fundraising goal of $30,000.00. This is a high bar to set especially in these hard times, but I know our staches are here to inspire, so lets get the message out there “Our Mustaches are Fighting Cancer!”.

Next week we are back at Manuel’s Tavern, Tuesday Nov 25. So show up, flash the stache, drink, eat and be merry with a bunch of stachtastic folks.

The Stache Bash is set for Manuel’s Tavern on Dec 12 Friday at 7:30pm. Its in the big room above the one we usually meet in. Lets pack the house! Everyone is invited, all naked lips will be covered, loaner mustaches provided at the door.

Stachingly Yours,

Sir Mustache Wax

Growers,
Manuel’s Tavern was booked for next tuesday, something about the owners nephew, so we are changing venue.

Tuesday (11/18/08) we are meeting at The Midway Pub in East Atlanta. The Midway is a sizable sports bar with a large patio, darts, foos ball, video games, a “huge” beer selection, (they will be offering us $3.00 peroni’s and pilsner’s) and they have Trivia starting at 8:00pm-10:00pm. They said their trivia dj will give our cause a shout out and include some good mustache trivia. We have Manuel’s Tavern booked for the remaining check points, so just think of this as a field trip.

Welcome to the 2nd Annual Mustache for Kids Event 2008. Last year sounded and looked like a blast! This year there a few new organizers but we are willing to Grow a Stache for some cash.

Actually some of us have to shave quite a bit off before we start. This year one thing we ask is that you take a before picture like the one below (yes cheesey picture but hopefully you get the point). Either hold on to them or email them to me for safe keeping until I can start assembling them online.

Thanks and may the growers unite!
