March Mustache Madness 2008
Original 2008 Call for Participation Email
The skies are gray. The demands of research loom large. But there is hope: with the new year comes the potential for new beginnings... and a new mustache!
Yes, once again this year our department will celebrate March Mustache Madness, the annual event in which students, faculty, and staff grow mustaches (or ask Matt
Post for a stick-on mustache) to herald the start of spring.
You may be thinking "why should I grow a mustache?". The challenge, however, is to ask yourself "why not?". Why not start growing a beard today to keep your face
warm during these cold, cold days? Why not shave it down to a mustache on or before March 1st, in a bold and defiant challenge to the long Rochester winter? Why not
be a part of the most exciting event that will take place in the grad lounge on the first day of March? And, should genetics or circumstances prevent you from
growing a mustache of your own, then why not ask Matt Post for a stick-on that you can wear with pride on the first day of March?
If you are interested in participating, please take a look at the department wiki from time to time, as more information will appear in the next few days. On January
7th, we'll be unveiling this year's community-oriented mustache activity via the wiki. Don't miss it! Until then, don't forget to look at pictures from last year
and to think about how much joy it will bring to be a part of this year's March Mustache Madness!
* note: since March 1st falls on a Saturday, the official Mustache unveiling and party will take place on March 3rd *
