Our good friends behind the epic event Mustache Fest are preparing to rock Joliet, IL (outside Chicago) this Saturday, June 21. The event will take place at 5 p.m. and the shows start at 7 p.m. at McBrody's
and Chicago Street Pub You can find more about the deal here.
For the past two years, the minds behind Mustache Fest have gathered to
celebrate great music and killer mustaches by holding a festival for
both. You can check out photos
here from the past two 'Fests, including last year's mustache winner who had a chest
'stache.
The lineup of bands includes: All the Way Rider and Casanatra from Minneapolis; Deconstructing Jim, John Condron & The Benefit, and Ten Minute Vision from Joliet; and Heroes of the Kingdom from the home of the world's largest mustache (the Arch) in St. Louis.
Festival
founders are all-around good fellers Jeff Julian and Matt Yeager. If you have any questions you can reach Jeff at jjbulla1@yahoo.com or (815) 530-6232.
Carry on.
About afroman
The name “Abe Froman” is most commonly recognized as the ubiquitous and unseen character who’s identity is briefly assumed by actor Matthew Broderick in the film “Ferris Beuller’s Day Off.” However, Abraham Froman is much more.
Dr. Froman, a Capricorn, began his career with AMI as an intern, and after receiving his certification in nuclear mustacheology in 2006, transitioned his role into the organization’s Director of Logistical Intelligence, focusing on research, government relations, intelligence gathering, grass roots advocacy, and song writing.
On October 25, 2008, he will ascend to the role of Chief Executive Officer.
“I am honored to assume the chair held by Drs. Snor and Perlut previously,” Froman said. “The Mustached American people need leadership, and I pledge that AMI, under my stewardship, will continue to provide it at a time when it is so desperately needed.”
Dr. Froman has said that his future goals for AMI are to create satellite campus’s overseas and to develop an annual event, to be known as "The Million Mustache March," each year in St. Louis, concluding under the world’s largest mustache – St. Louis’ Gateway Arch.
Froman formerly lived in the Chicago area where he ran a museum dedicated to the "Karate Kid" series of films starring the indefatigable Pat Morita.
As Abe likes to say, "One can never tire of Pat Morita."
Dr. Froman is also a periodic contributor to joesportsfan.com.
