‘Stachetastic 2012

We are doing this AGAIN and fully expect your support…. and by support, we mean YOU are going to grow a mustache (and raise money for kids). For the 3rd year, the Denver chapter of Mustaches for Kids will be raising money for Donors Choose (www.donorschoose.org), a very simple, and very effective non-profit that directly funds projects that teachers request in often woefully underfunded schools around the country and right here in the Denver metro area. We get to choose exactly to which projects and classrooms donations will go.

The Mile High Mustaches Chapter will be conducting weekly checkpoint meetings at local bars which have graciously agreed to accommodate this top lip tomfoolery. The 1st meeting will be held at a family friendly restaurant and bar to accommodate family ‘staches.  At the final meeting prizes will be given for the best ‘stache, the worst ‘stache and the person who received the most donations.

To start your growing page all you have to do is go to:  http://www.donorschoose.org/donors/leadershipboard.html?category=317 And select “Start Your Own Page” on the right.

Further information about locations and meeting times will follow after the new year.

 

Update from the Brustache!

Just got this update from one of our finest growers, check it out:

To all my loyal supporters,

I have been growing this mustache for almost 4 weeks and the toughest part is now behind me.  Weeks 2 and 3 were very itchy, but I pulled through with the support of friends and family.

I notice that people treat me differently now.  They are not as friendly as they were a few weeks ago, and they tend to steer clear of me on sidewalks.

I guess I just don’t look like the nice guy that I used to:

Having a mustache is much harder that I had originally expected.  Here is what I have learned:

Stache Rash: This is the red rash that results for scratching an itchy mustache:

Stache Ash: This results from letting the ash from whatever you’re smoking fall into your mustache:

Stache Trash: These are the things that get stuck in my mustache throughout the day with out me realizing it (bits of food, office supplies, car parts…):

Stache Mash: A special sub-category of Stache Trash that happens when I eat mashed potatoes:

Stache Smash: This happened the other day during a Stache Clash – I got punched for looking so creepy:

The end is near though.  I get to shave on Saturday, Dec. 13th at the final Stache Bash! I can’t wait.

Thanks again for all of your support in these difficult mustache times.

Humiliatingly,

Bruce
