1. Create a fake holiday, give it a snappy title, let everyone know that it is on the horizon.
2. Mention fake holiday a few times a day, keeping it in the front of everyone's mind.
3. When the day finally arrives, enjoy!
In essence, this is what Beardwatch 08 was.
A few weeks ago when i decided to stop shaving, I thought it would be fun to title my journey towards beard-dom "Beardwatch 08" The final day of May would be the first party (of many) to celebrate my beard.
The pictures you are about to view are not of a complete beard, that isn't what beardwatch is, beardwatch is a celebration of the bearded. Near the end of the season you will see pictures from the final Beardwatch party, which will be called "Beardwatch 08: Mission Accomplished"
Here is Dave, (commissioner of Beards) giving me a ziploc bag of full of the remaining parts of his recently shorn beard.
Here Dave tells the legend of how gods passed down beards to human kind, and how in a beards fullest moment, it flows with milk and honey enough to feed the masses. In the end of the story we learn that the gods passed down the first beard to Dave himself, and that he in fact was the chosen one. He passed that on to me.
