Booth Metamorphosis

The first event we went to where we had a booth was the Hokuloa. We managed to throw it together a bit last minute, but it was at the beach so at least it felt like home. It went well for our first event. There were a few women who ran up the booth frantically yelling 'I LOOOOOVE MUSTACHES??' and God bless them.

This is how our booth looked, conveniently placed right next to the recycling depository.

A month or so later, we had a booth at the Johnny Cash Music festival at the Ventura Fairgrounds. We definitely had our act together...at least a bit better than the first event. We went out and got sheets and decor to help out presentation. check it out:

We met a bunch of really cool people, a lot of different people. It was quite entertaining actually. When I think 'Johnny Cash Music Festival' I think older folk rock / country, so when a bunch of greasers in sick cars showed up with a tattoos and piercing, I was caught off guard, but loved it. There was also a pin-up girl competition, so there were a ton of girls dressed up in a manner that I only thought existed in old playboy cartoons...fantastic! I apologize for not having any pictures of that.

However, we met a bunch of rad people...this is the only pic I have - two of the many mustache enthusiasts:

Thank you all for the friendly conversation as well as supporting the cause. Cheers.

Cinncinnati Reds, Baby!!

Alright, so if you're not familiar with Major League Baseball, the Reds have the best Mascot...all that matters is the fact that he has a giant mustache:

So Jimmy grew up as a Reds fan as are all the members in his family. He recently took a family vacation where the whole Lipovsky clan attended a Reds game...I wonder if he was on TV looking like this:

Well done sir. Well done.
