Holy City Beard and Moustache Society
Update February 16: Well the beards are in and the event's over. We've already given a photo gallery from the night a shout out as the Photo of the Day. But the Charleston City Paper also has a write-up from the night; read it here.
Flickr user "Dance Party Duo" also has a bunch.
First reporting: The Holy City Beard and Moustache Society (HCBMS) and The Tin Roof will host the 1st Annual Southeastern Beard & Moustache Championships February 13th, 2010.
Hairy gents (and gals) from all over the Southeast will convene for a night of beard, moustache, sideburn and goatee competitions, oyster roasting and music in the name of charity.
Ladies don't fret. You too can participate in the fuzzy love with the contest for Best Bearded gal. All proceeds go to Lowcountry Women with Wings.
The full itinerary is listed below, on The Holy City Beard and Moustache Society's MySpace page, and Facebook group.
