At least, that's what everyone at the New York City Beard and Moustache Championships told us last night at the Knitting Factory. The place was wall-to-wall beards-- it was like a ZZ Top fanclub convention. It was like a reenactment of the Civil War. It was like a restaging of Hair. Etc. We had to bust out before the winners were announced, but Tien is still there partying with all the hirsute heros. Presumably he'll update this post when he gets home.
For now, enjoy our first gallery of images on Flickr. Also be sure to check out the NYCBM blog and official site.
Update: Our second set on Flickr from the New York City Beard and Moustache Championships. Pictured above are the beard champion, the moustache champion, and the freestyle champion (taken prior to the event).
Update: We've been made aware that the original title of the post had an unintentional double-entendre-- so to accomodate the sensitive, we've changed it. We hope you're happy now!
Update: Some video of the NYCBMC dancers is up on YouTube-- check out those moves!
