Movember Mustache Bash @ Mugshots

I always have a blast at the Unilocal events, and what makes this one even better is the fact that Unilocal was getting the word out about a special cause. Sporting a mustache is fun, especially when mixed with free booze and food. But, it’s even more fun when doing it in support of Movember and the movement to increase awareness about prostate cancer.
The BBQ was delicious not to mention the free swag from Tasty Bite.
Throw in some free Lonestar and those annoyingly addicting puzzle caps, and you’ve got yourself a good time. The venue was great too. Mugshots is always a great place, the bartenders are friendly and you never have to wait long for a drink.
Thanks again Kelly and Unilocal

So how should I take it when I get multiple compliments on how strangely good I look in a moustache? Is that a good thing? A bad thing? I haven’t figured it out yet, but it is slightly disconcerting. Enough about me, onto the party…
It was great! I finally got to meet Gabriel H., I got to ooh and ahh over pictures Kevin N.‘s new little bundle of joy (absolutely beautiful, btw), and I got to hug Errol M. and Catherine T.
The Lonestar and Blue Ribbon BBQ really hit the spot (amazing banana pudding) and I can’t wait to try the Tasty Bite meals. Last night’s event was warm and welcoming in an otherwise dreary and depressing night.

So the guy at the doorway of Mugshots starts talking to me, and I’m thinking he’s some Unilocaler I just don’t recognize so I start shaking his hand and introducing myself when he says, «That’s nice, but I still need to see your ID.» I was damned glad to have met him anyway.
I couldn’t get here until the last twenty-​minutes or so, so the question becomes, «Is a little bit of an Elite Event better than no bit of an Elite Event? And by golly, yes it is. I finally got one of those lip thingies other Unilocalers swear by, and I was put in charge of the order of urinal use — that’s what happens when you socialize in front of the bathrooms.
It’s all about the peeps for me of course: The Dej, the Tash, the Gabe, Monsieur Bacon, da’ Man Marc; and am I the only Unilocaler who can’t recognize Rebecca L. without her aviators and «V» sign? This was also the fourth fleeting glance I’ve had of Jennifer G. at one of these things — please, slow down a little. I’m not that creepy.
It was also a pleasure to meet Lauren W. at her first event, and yes, all new Elites have earned those interesting rice packets. I’ve never met Jen L. before this evening, and she caught me by surprise — a very interesting person.
I rarely get a chance to talk to Kelly and Kevin at these things, because they’re moving around at the speed of light. But that’s why these events are great. You guys know how to throw an event. And Unilocal rules.

I’d like to give a quick shout out to Unilocal for closely following my mother’s recipe for Catching Your Death.
Ingredients:
cold mist
rainy conditions
any temperature below 75 degrees fahrenheit
food
alcohol
driving
hurried-​ness
1. Mix 1 part hurried driving plus 1 dash frustration that CVS didn’t print out Halloween costume pictures despite an email confirmation.
2. Combine hydroplaning tires with rainy conditions until peeks form.
3. Disembark from vehicle into 2 collective cups cold mist, drizzled lightly over self. Recall your mother saying «you’ll catch your death» as you cover your throat.
4. Consume unreasonable amount of meat.
5. Consume unreasonable amount of bread pudding.
6. Consume unreasonable amount of Lone Star.
7. Pose on pool table with friends (optional).
8. Garnish with Tasty Treats rice packets, if desired.
Thanks Kelly. I don’t know how you got hold of that recipe, but it came out pretty solid. I held up my iPhone with costume picture to compete for prizes, and won a mustache mug. It is where I’ll serve my Catch Your Death tea.

It was my first Unilocal event and it was so much fun! I brought two of my girls with me and we definitely enjoyed the free beer, bbq, and pre-​cooked rice. The Unilocal goodies were awesome. I’m so tempted to lick the passion fruit Unilocal stick balm off my lips. We strutted our pink mustaches around for the cause.
Oh my goodness, the bar b q was amazing and the guy that owns blue ribbon is just as amazing. The brisket was so tender and juicy. The bbq sauce was also the bomb dot com! It had a nice sweetness to it.
Thanks Kelly for a fun time!

Heaping plates of free barbecue, bottles of Lone Star, cold naner pudding, and free bags of pre-​cooked rice (what)? YES, please!
Kelly is so wonderful at putting these things together. She must have a small army of well-​trained lackeys working behind the scenes…
Can’t wait to see you guys at the next one!
