Tomorrow at 9am, seat tickets go on sale for our event with John Hodgman on Tuesday, November 8, 7p.
Now, if you’ve seen any of the recent footage of Hodgman (photos; video) then you’ll notice that he is currently sporting quite a remarkable mustache indeed. Given the high ratio of mustaches to upper lips in this city (so many mustaches that in fact there exists the very active Austin Facial Hair Club), we decided to do this event right – Bird’s Barbershop is joining us to sponsor a Mustache Contest at our John Hodgman event. That’s right, if you’re sporting a hairy upper lip, you qualify to enter our contest which will be judged by Hodgman, Bird’s, and the audience, in which you may potentially win prizes and of course earn eternal mustache glory.
All you have to do to enter the contest is show up. If you’d like to sit down, you must buy a seat ticket (which includes a copy of Hodgman’s new book), but if you care to stand, the floor is all yours, free of charge.
We asked some of the mustachioed members of our staff to provide inspiration for those considering entering the Mustache Contest. Here is their encouragement, in the form of a BookPeople Mustache Montage:
That is all. For now. Until tomorrow, when That Is All, the final volume in Hodgman’s trilogy of Complete World Knowledge, goes on sale.
