With 'Stache Bash 2008 nearly upon us on Oct. 25 at Lumiere Casino in St. Louis, we've had an interesting development thanks to our friends at ToastedRav.com.
Each year at 'Stache Bash, we of course hold a best mustache contest. Last year's event was won by this man, but until today, we had no idea what his name was or who he was (yes, crack work by the boys and girls at AMI).
So today we were reading ToastedRav and came across this posting from a little biscuit named Stephanie Goodman, and it turns out, girlfriend knows our best mustache winner and did a solid interview with him.
So now we can tell you, it was Greg Givens who won the 2007 Best Mustache contest at 'Stache Bash 2007. Check him out in this video chronicling the event, and don't forget to vote here for the winner of the first ever "Robert Goulet Memorial Mustached American of the Year" award to be announced at 'Stache Bash on Oct. 25.
Carry on.
About afroman
The name “Abe Froman” is most commonly recognized as the ubiquitous and unseen character who’s identity is briefly assumed by actor Matthew Broderick in the film “Ferris Beuller’s Day Off.” However, Abraham Froman is much more.
Dr. Froman, a Capricorn, began his career with AMI as an intern, and after receiving his certification in nuclear mustacheology in 2006, transitioned his role into the organization’s Director of Logistical Intelligence, focusing on research, government relations, intelligence gathering, grass roots advocacy, and song writing.
On October 25, 2008, he will ascend to the role of Chief Executive Officer.
“I am honored to assume the chair held by Drs. Snor and Perlut previously,” Froman said. “The Mustached American people need leadership, and I pledge that AMI, under my stewardship, will continue to provide it at a time when it is so desperately needed.”
Dr. Froman has said that his future goals for AMI are to create satellite campus’s overseas and to develop an annual event, to be known as "The Million Mustache March," each year in St. Louis, concluding under the world’s largest mustache – St. Louis’ Gateway Arch.
Froman formerly lived in the Chicago area where he ran a museum dedicated to the "Karate Kid" series of films starring the indefatigable Pat Morita.
As Abe likes to say, "One can never tire of Pat Morita."
Dr. Froman is also a periodic contributor to joesportsfan.com.
