Friday’s ‘stache bash seems like a distant memory. To help remedy this situation, brother grower Brett Tackaberry has strung together a 3-minute clip recapping the finer moments of the evening. Very few mustaches have what it takes to walk away with the title of “Sweetest ‘Stache”. Competition is rigorous – both mentally and physically. [...]

[audio:http://m4kottawa.org/wp-content/themes/m4k/downloads/cbcradio_061113.mp3] Check out the interview on CBC Radio this morning by our very own stachers Brett Tackaberry and Trevor Kealey. Trevor’s comparison of mustaches to icebergs is riveting. If the player above doesn’t work, you can download the entire interview as an mp3.

Welcome to the 2006 edition of M4K Ottawa! We’re back on the scene with a new site (gracefully adorned by our 2005 champ, “Officer Brohman”) and renewed desire to help out those wonderful little kids that benefit from the hard working folks at the Make-A-Wish Foundation ® of Canada (Eastern Ontario chapter). For the uneducated, [...]
