Hey folks! It’s been a while since the club’s gotten together, but that’s all about to change! We’ve got a lot of great events planned and we’re starting off with a Pub Night. This time around we’re having it at Underbelly/Anomaly in 5 Points, tomorrow night at 7:30 p.m. There well be drink specials for everyone with facial hair (real or fake) and we’ll have plenty to talk about so don’t be late. It’ll be a great time, so let’s get the gang back together, hopefully meet some new bearded friends & drink some beers!

Beards at RAM

Ok so I know this is old news but I really wanted to post it up on the blog. A while back after we got back from the National Beard and Mustache Championships, we were asked to put together a beard and mustache event at the Riverside Arts Market in honor of Tony Allegretti leaving the RAM committee. The event turned out really well, especially for such short notice that we had to put it together. We had a crafts table for kids to put together paper beards and mustaches and towards the end of the event, we had a beard and mustache contest! Burro Bags were awesome and provided all of the prizes for the contestants which included a tote, t-shirt and bandana! I want to thank those guys for doing such amazing work on that for us. So sorry about the delay on getting this out and enjoy some photos from the event! You can find more photos from Sarah’s flickr.

It’s been a long time but we’re back in action. I just got back from the National Beard and Mustache Championships in Bend, Oregon. It was a fantastic time filled with plenty of bearded fellowship and lots of drinks. You can check out some photos from the event below as well as here and here. It was a blast to check out and we’ll be definitely going to other bearded events across the country as well as picking our awesome club up to do more events as well.

More news on that later, but for now, come on out to compete in the Jacksonville Beard and Mustache Contest at RAM this Saturday! You can enter to compete at the Jacksonville Beardsmith Society booth between 10am – 12pm. Contest begins at 12:30pm. Great prizes for category winners and best in show! Categories include: Best Mustache; Best Partial Beard (sideburns, goatee, fumanchu); Best Beard; Freestyle (anything goes); and Best Handmade Facial Hair (ladies welcome). Feel free to print out the flyer and let everyone know! Come on out and support us!

Beardy Holiday Gift Guide

Since Christmas is coming up this month I thought I’d take a moment to present (pun intended?) to you all the perfect beardy holiday gift guide. Now these are just a few of my favorites. You can also check out the 101 Mustache Gift Ideas by Coty Gonzales or this guide by Erin Dollar of I Made You a Beard.

First up are the amazing beard bandanas by Jacksonville’s own Burro Bags. Perfect stocking stuffers for your favorite beard enthusiast.

Who wouldn’t want a pair of mustache socks by fredflare.com? Seriously.

Tired of an unkempt stache? Then get yourself some Cinnamon Clove Mustache Wax by Man’s Face Stuff.

Just getting in to the art of Facial Hair? Then learn from the best and grab yourself the Facial Hair Handbook by the champ himself, Jack Passion.

Ladies, you can keep up with the latest in beardy fashion with this sweet Beardo Necklace by KidViskous.

Or this awesome mustache ring by Isette.

I love this T-Shirt graphic by Fuzzy Ink.

This Mr. Mustache Tote bag is pretty sweet by Sirena Con Jersey.

And lastly, I’ve always been a fan of the Timber Preservation Society. I love his Shirt designs. Go get yourself one.

And that’s my perfect guide to beardy holiday shopping. Happy Holidays and keep bearding!

Cheers!
