BrightestYoungThings: Bellman Barker - Mustache Diary

Welcome to the final day of Bellman Barker's Mustache Diary. You'll be following us on a journey through five states in five days (check out Maryland yesterday) on our way back to the Velvet Lounge for a show on Saturday, October 27th. Each day, we'll also profile someone we meet that has a great mustache.

But before we tell you about our travels, here’s the low-down on our Saturday show at Velvet Lounge with Luego and The Great Escape:

We will be costumed up and expect you to be as well.

The first mustaches in the door are on our guest list.

The best costume – as judged by the audience applause-o-meter – will win a Bellman Barker EP and a surprise prize. AND a temporary dragon tattoo.

COME AND FUCKING GET READY TO FUCKING PARTY.

And now…

Today, we’re in Harrisburg and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania…

The folks at ABC Brewery make amazing beers, most of which we tried. Joe at Instrumental Analysis set up the bill with a great Americana band from Decatur, Georgia – Warm in the Wake.

Friends drove down from Wilkes-barre, PA to see the show and we hung out and talked about autism (Greg gets paid to get beat up by a 250 pound autistic 21 year-old – he has some pretty rad bruises).

Thomas was beaten handily at pool by our MUSTACHE PROFILE:

Jeff King is a local graphic designer that creates covers for books and magazines. He’s had this neat and clean ‘stache since he was 14. Check out his projects:

Then we slept in the van, in the rain. Or at least some of us slept. This might have been the low point of some spirits. Hey, at least the ABC Brewery folks let us park in their lot all night!

Then we were off to Pittsburgh!!!!! YEAH!!

We played with two excellent local bands – The Resistors and The Takeover (UK). We got pretty drunk (see below photos).

AND THE BELLMAN BARKER ALL CAPS MUSTACHE PROFILE OF ALL OF PITTSBURGH WAS:

SEAN FINN!!!!!

Sean was our intrepid promoter for the show and plays in Pittsburgh powerhouse Life In Bed. We talked at length about infared documentation of the existence of Sasquatch. We talked over chocolate and orange cupcakes. Sean is really nice – AND Life In Bed is playing Tonight!!! in Baltimore at Metro Gallery – CHECK IT OUT!
