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 Purgatory 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 Mike 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 **
