Gentlemen!
For your pleasure, we will be meeting tonight at The Globe Pub (1934 Irving Park Road) at 7pm.
If you have not attended a meeting before it generally consists of us bearded fellows (and sometimes non-bearded ladies) conversing about the majesty of facial hair while imbibing ourselves on The Globe Pub's wonderful beer selection and bar food.
Please join us!

UPDATE: World Beard & Moustache Championship
Gentlemen!
Here are some updates from Phil Olson (Beard Team USA Pres.) regarding travel and accommodations for the WBMC as well as some upcoming local competitions leading up to the big bout. Also, we've got a bit of pre-WBMC smack talk going on between our bearded brethren in Austin, Texas and Anchorage, Alaska.
Here are some updates from Phil Olson (Beard Team USA Pres.) regarding travel and accommodations for the WBMC as well as some upcoming local competitions leading up to the big bout. Also, we've got a bit of pre-WBMC smack talk going on between our bearded brethren in Austin, Texas and Anchorage, Alaska.
With less than three months to go until the next World Beard and Moustache Championships, Austin (Texas) Facial Hair Club MVP and Beard Team USA member Bryan Nelson, who sports a bright red Texas-sized beard, is on a mission to dethrone full-beard-natural world champ and BTUSA teammate Jack Passion in Anchorage this May. It seems Jack (known to his fans as "the Pash") had the audacity to suggest that his own beard might be better than that of Texas' patron saint Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top. The AFHC and Bryan consider the honor of the Lone Star State at stake. Meanwhile 2003 FBN world champ and BTUSA member David Traver, who is a founder of the South Central Alaska Beard Club, host of the WBMC 09, reminds everyone that in Alaska "Texas-sized" means "small." Game on! If you would like to comment, you can do so here: http://usabeard.blogspot.com.

Beard-second
From Wikipedia:
The beard-second is a unit of length inspired by the light year, but used for extremely short distances such as those in nuclear physics. The beard-second is defined as the length an average beard grows in a second, or about 5 nanometers[1].
One beard-second equals 50 Ångströms (10-10 m).
