When my friend forwarded me an invitation to a mustache competition tonight, I wrote back, "This is the event I've been waiting for my entire Kansas City life. Okay, really it would be a beard competition, but this is me settling." That might be a little true, but since it's for a good cause, and I don't have any better facial hair going on, I'm heading to the Ozanam Guild's First Annual Mustache Competition tonight.
The Ozanam Guild is a group of young professionals who raise money for Ozanam, a home and school in Kansas City for kids with emotional, behavioral and learning disorders. Your $15 gets you food, drink and all of the Midwestern mustaches your little heart desires (as long as I don't decide I want them first). If you're wearing a mustache, you can get in for $10, and if you, like me, can't grow one, they'll have some at the door. Prizes are promised for the winners of three categories: Best natural mustache, best fake mustache, and best female mustache.
It happens tonight from 6-8 p.m. at the Czar Bar at 1531 Grand. I'll be the redhead with the drool running down my chin (especially since the cute boys in the video I posted above are supposed to be there).
