Okay, I shaved yesterday.

So, today is day 1. Whoever suggested July 1st as beard-start must've pre-empted this shit. It's oooooooon.

i'd try for a beard but my attemps are pretty pitful, my moustache on the other hand is coming on a treat

me crowd surfing outside our van

i enjoy your 'stache loads. loads and loads.

i might have to do a beard day and a tash day at Fest.

...i'll rock the tash for your set

I've got I think just over a week's growth, and I really don't feel like shaving today, so I may not qualify for official beard competition.

I'm sure that or without a fresh start today, if I do not shave until November, I will not have the biggest beard among all July 1st growers, but probably up near the top of the ranks.

I believe i may be the one that suggested the july 1st start, but unfortunately i don't think i'll be shaving either. It's tough on us fat kids, the beard works so well to hide the chubby face some of us are sporting. plus having a beard and a beer belly is almost an aphrodisiac here in Richmond.

I look like a really angry, chubby 14 year old.

If I can do it, so can you.

wow, that's like more Gainesville than Gainesville.

Fuck, I'm moving to Richmond!

Ladies, try to contain yourselves.

come on down, the water's fine

Since I'm horrible at facial hair, I've decided to grow a Fest mullet. We'll see what happens...

I have to admit, I'm slightly apprehensive about what kind of fad this might start . . . hahahaha. Although one time, for a very brief span, my sister had a mullet for the sake of a scavenger hunt. HA. I refuse to let her forget.

The great thing about mullets are they're unisex -- so no more complaining about not being able to participate in the ridiculous hair fashions of the Fest for us ladies.

Richmond is just a bigger Gville to some, or so I've been told.

Edit: Or perhaps Gville is a smaller version od RVA?

I think Avail said it best during their set

"It's good to be in Gainesville.....Richmond-south"

my friend told me i look like a massive 10 year old today now my face aint so hairy.

but he likes linkin park so i guess i win.

this pic of me was taken about 3 months ago and i havent shaved the stache yet.

(about 5 weeks into it)



i'll get an updated pic soon so you can see the facial hair timeline of a 26 year old whose whiskers grow at the rate of one who is 16.

i was thinking of shaving it off but now i guess i have to keep it for the Fest!

i know the quality is "artsy" and poor but thats all i could find on my computer without taking way too much time
