Blog Master G

Wow, is it really the last day of 2009?? What a year! It ended with an awesome trip to California the past week, where Jen and I spent time with family and friends in San Francisco and Sacramento.

Of course, one of the many highlights of the trip was the meeting of the Anderson Brothers for the ABMGC III showdown before Christmas. It couldn’t have been more grand an occasion.

People often ask me who won the competition this year. That’s a tough question to answer because, well, we’re Californians and though I consider myself a competitor at things like running races, ABMGC is more of an informal competition really. It’s like art. Can you really name a winner at an art show?

That said, I think the consensus is that Pete’s artistic flair — and blog prose — is hard to match, while the thickness of my ‘stache was tops this year. Flair, you say? Why yes. How could I possibly compete with the below?

This was a banner year, Bro. Congrats on your pornographic and artistic unstoppableness! Clearly the ladies were inspired, as Sierra and Jen demonstrate below:

Last but not least, I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention one of our ‘stache grandmasters — Bay Area legend Juan (of Juan’s Place in Berkeley) — whom Jen, Enoch, and I had the pleasure of meeting last week. Now there’s a man who’s not afraid to embrace his ‘stache year-round:

Here’s wishing you and yours a very muzzy Christmas and a Happy New Year — to  2010 and beyond!
