Today is the annual Misprint Beard and Moustache competition.  So not surprisingly, I came across some folks with above average facial hair last night.  Bruce Roe and David Alber, who came all the way from Bremerton Washington for the event, were extremely accommodating with this spur of the moment project....  Thanks guys!  Learn more about the joys of whiskerdom at their Whisker Club website.
