HOBOs, this is what you are competing for. This is what will be up for grabs at the 3rd Annual HOBO Mustache Contest.
For the first time, there will be an award given to the winner of the Mustache Contest. This year, we will crown the Undisputed HOBO World Mustache Champion (UHWMC) and award him with this beautifully handcrafted title belt. As of now, the current UHWMC Title Holder is Andrew "The Torso" Gregas.
The belt was finely crafted by The Showstoppa out of only the best possible parts. The belt starts with a $2 serving dish from the Salvation Army Thrift Store. The dish is attached with the strongest, highest quality screws that were 98 cents at Home Depot, to a $20 weight lifting belt purchased from Dunham's Sports. Attached to the belt is a luxurious $20 HOBO belt buckle from a kiosk in the mall. The lettering and mustache in the center of the belt are made of the finest gems know to man, Bling Things Stick-On Crystals, $15.
This fine piece of artsmanship comes in at a price of approximately $58. Thanks to the Adopt-A-HOBO program and the generous donations by HOBOs and Friends of HOBO this is possible.
As everyone knows some big HOBO events are coming up very soon. Some of us HOBOs have been coming up with big plans for these events. Hopefully, the Mustache Contest and HOBOWL will be as big as ever.
To make these events as big and as important as they should be HOBO needs some funding. As you have probably noticed I have added a donation button to the left hand side of the page. We need everyone to chip in so we can pay for the big plans that are ahead.
Upcoming Plans that may need some funding:
We can either all order t-shirts through Cafepress ($1 goes to the HOBO Fund) or if we're all willing to chip in money we can have them made at Handsome Prints or another printer and give them out the day of the event.
The title belt costs between $150-250. I think this would be an awesome idea and would be totally hilarious. I say we should invest some money into this. Why not go all out when we have a chance to? If all the HOBOs pitch in $20 using the donation button then we'll easily have enough for the title belt. If we pitch in a little more we will also be able to get the clock for the HOBOWL.
Also, look for another new fundraising feature to come soon. The Adopt-A-HOBO program. It's like adopting a starving child in Ethiopia but instead you are adopting a HOBO. I will be posting more in depth on this in the coming days and it is ready to go live.
