World Beard and Mustache Championships
More photos from the World Beard and Mustache Championships opening parade, in Anchorage, Alaska. Still loads more to process but a busy day ahead, the main competition starts in a couple of hours.
While viewing these I recommend listening to the music of The Beards, the band who closed the opening ceremony last night - all beards, all the time :-)
Funny story one of their courntrymen told (dunno how true it is), the band didnt start out as the beards, at one gig they thought if they grew beards they could be their own support act and then shave them off for the main slot, but their comedy beard act proved much more popular, so they embraced it whole-heardedly - now all they sing about are beards, with songs such as "If your dad doesn't have a beard, you have two mums" :-)
