I’d love to go! I have facial hair envy :(
I would love to win tickets because i am obsessed with the stache….looking for a good moustache ride and this has got to be the best place to find one right?
I think mustaches and beards are hot… not in the ironic way. Let me be surrounded by the best!
I have friends entering this contest, and I wanna support them!
too funny! gotta check it out!
My friendly chops need to socialize!!
I REALLY WANT TO WIN THESE TICKETS!!! Hahaha, this looks amazing! I’ll be visiting Portland this weekend with a friend, as Portland is a likely relocation prospect for us both. And like all other young, refined ladies, we LOVE FANTASTIC FACIAL HAIR! Please give us one more reason to choose Portland :)
This looks to freakin funny. I really wanna go see the crazy facial hair!
I want to show my kids why it is cool to have a beard.
Oooooh Yeeaah! Nothing beats a man with a sexy stache.
My mother-in-law is visiting and she has become obsessed with the quantity and quality of facial hair she has seen in Portland, on both men and women. This event is the perfect culmination of her trip and new found enthusiasm for facial hair! Oh, and my husband could use some inspiration for a new take on his own facial hair.
I have a friend who I haven’t seen in FOREVER in the contest. PLUS, I have always thought extreme facial hair looks FANTASTIC!!! :)
Classic Portland, would love to go!
As I can, alas, not grow proper facial hair I hope to go to see how it’s done.
I celebrated my birthday earlier this week. This would be the BEST. BIRTHDAY. PRESENT. EVER.
I want to go!!
I can grow a nice beard. Whiskerino. Check it.
There is really nothing I enjoy more than a good, hilarious mustache. Beards are okay too. Plus, my roommate just quit her soul-sucking job, and I would love to be able to take her to this as an excellent celebration.
My beard is entirely inappropriate for an all ages venue. But I’d still like to go!
I NEED tickets. I love men with facial hair. I guess it’s a 70′s thing but updated. yeah that’s it.
my husband has been growing out a beard for the last few weeks and i keep telling him to aspire to something like this! we’re still trying to figure out what shape would look unique and cool on his face. this event would certainly provide inspiration (and a few “wows” and chuckles, i’m sure)… pick me and i promise to email you pictures of his newly coiffed beard thingy.
I would like to win because I need a reason, any reason, to get me out of the house.
this is amazing?!!! i’ve never heard of such an amazing event!! my boyfriend would LOVE this event, and he (of course) also has a beard! men in portland & their beards… :)
I’d like to bring my visiting ex-boyfriend, who, despite eight years of asking nicely, never once grew a beard or mustache for me, despite having the follicles for it.
He needs to see why I left him for Portland.
My fiance would love this so much!!
I really want to go and check out the different sytles to get ideas of my own.
My husband and I are both tragically unable to produce spectacular facial hair, and thus would particularly treasure a chance to view the West Coast’s premiere moustaches and beards!
did you see that photo of the charming, white “octopus” bearded man on your email you just sent? do i even need to explain why i want to attend this event after seeing that picture? purely awesome. please send me tickets!!
I’d like to see the beards and mustaches that the West Coast has to offer. Any event that affiliates itself with a mustachioed beaver is all right by me.
Finally a date night that rocks!!
As a beard grower, I respect the stash… I would love to see this event!
I need to ask these fellows (and ladies!) how they are able to enjoy their Stumptown without mussing those fabulous sculptures.
Do they caffienate through a straw?
Free tickets would be much appreciated
OMG I wish I could enter my husband into this
I’m trying to be more accepting of beards and this would show my bf that I’m on board!
I’m new to Portland and would love to see this!! I would promise to be a good spectator and cheer on the best mustaches!
I need to go to this event for inspiration. 10 buddies and I are going on a ski trip at the end of Feb. and the theme is creepy mustaches. None of us have shaved for a couple months now and I need to figure out what my options are for the stache when it comes time to cut and shape…now I am but a blank canvas…pick me, pick me!!!
Did someone win?
I am an aspiring beard/moustache stylist and I need inspiration and contacts!!! PLEASE help me bedazzle my fierce bearded friends!!!! I will not disappoint you!
My beard is single and it’s ready to mingle. Pick me, baby…
To beard or not to beard, that is the question…
I WANT THOSE TICKETS. My Stache is looking pretty sweet and would love to see what is out there. If I win I will promote the hell out of this event.
I want to go cause it’ll be amazing people watching!
Because I make art about mustaches and beards and I need lots and lots of muses! Pretty please!
I was in the CAKE moustache man video that was shot in Nov. at Holocene and want to see my Portland peeps compete.
