In the Bible, Paul writes “Bad company corrupts good character.”
Come see what he meant this Saturday at El Dia Del Mustache 8 - a party of biblical proportions. The shenanigans officially kick off at 3PM at Santos Party House (http://www.santospartyhouse.com/). Be there, whether you’ve got a mustache or are just a fan of them.
Anyone caught taking themselves to seriously will be escorted out by security.
See you Saturday!
The Board
FIVE DAYS and counting until El Dia Del Mustache 8. Make them count. This is your official reminder that the festivities kick off this Saturday, May 1st at 3PM at Santos Party House. Nominations begin immediately and voting starts at or around 5PM. As always, you’re competing for prizes in the Best in Show, Molester, Dad, Shitty and Novelty categories. And maybe, just maybe there will be another on-the-fly category as in years past (Magnum PI, Femm-u-Stache) - that’s up to the people to decide.

This year’s official El Dia t-shirt - inspired by the timeless elegance of the 1974-1977 San Diego Padres home uniform. The only way to get one is by attending El Dia Del Mustache 8, this Saturday at 3PM at Santos Party House, NYC.
Do you recognize this ’stache? It belongs to Farley, last year’s winner of Best in Show and the 2009-2010 owner of our beloved, baby blue Members Only Jacket. Farley, we hope you to see you there. If anyone out there knows this fine, fine gentleman, hit us at tom@tk-creative.com with his contact details.
Friends of the mustache: Just a friendly reminder that we are but two weeks away from the greatest gathering of facial hair since The Last Supper. Make no mistake, this year’s tribute to furry top lips will be nothing short of biblical. Get psyched, and get growing if you haven’t already. See you Saturday May 1 at Santos Party House.
Your hairiest dreams have come true, friend. El Dia Del Mustache is back, and with bristly vengeance. We’ve moved our little follicle fest to May because, since last year, it’s been scientifically proven that May is a superior month all around—but also because it provides a more fertile climate for the cultivation of a kick ass ’stache. The details are as follows (please note we’ve also moved to a venue that will NOT smell like human feces):

More details will follow as we get closer, but consider yourself warned. And, hey, Jesus Christ grew a mustache because he thought it could save the world. Do him a solid by showing up with something awesome on your top lip.
The first batch of official El Dia portraits are just coming through and, as expected, they’re quite spectacular. We’ve heard from a lot of El Dia faithful about acquiring portraits to display on MySpace, Facebook and all the rest of the social gubbins, and we’ll post info on how to get them as soon as the rest have come in. Of course, stay tuned to the official El Dia site for more of these portraits once we update the official photos section.
In the meantime, check out the event photos:
A big thanks to our pals at Gorman & Gorman for the amazing portrait shots. Got your own photos? Send ‘em in to charlie@statemedia.net
UPDATE: The Board’s email address isn’t functioning, so please send and resend all emails to charlie@statemedia.net. Charlie will take care of you.
A big thanks to everyone who came out this year in support of El Dia del Mustache 7. This year’s crowd was undoubtedly the biggest in El Dia history (200?), and for the first time ever we witnessed an on-the-fly addition of a new competitive category: The Magnum PI stache. A pregnant stache and even a toddler stache were also spotted amongst the follicled masses.
Send photos to charlie@statemedia.net and we’ll post them (no, seriously this time). Also reach out to us if you have the pictures, names and contact info of the winners. Farley (pictured above, center) won top honors for Best in Show with that marvelous piece of work on his upper lip. Farley, if you’re reading this, keep in touch and please take care of that beloved baby blue Members Only jacket.
Here are some links to photos that have come in so far. Keep them coming.
LASTLY, a note about the venue. God damn, that place was disgusting. Thanks to everyone who stuck it out depite the inescapable smell of human excrement. We swear it didn’t smell like that the last time we scoped the place out (though there were two homeless dudes sleeping in the back). The point is moot anyway, since we’ll never be going back to Port 41 again. The Board has already begun searching for a new venue for next year. If you have any ideas we’d love to hear them. Hit us up at charlie@statemedia.net.
Those mustache sympathizers over at the Daily News advised their readers of our hirsute hoedown blasting off this afternoon under the armpit of the Port Authority. Come one, come all!
