Mustache Competition

A few cousins have decided there are many ways to bring a family together, but in order to build the bonds of the VanDrunen male species... There is no better way than a grueling mustache competition. Rules: All males are welcome. Woman are immediately disqualified. Judging will be held during the VanDrunen Family Christmas. The Board of Mustache Judges will determine 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place based on the 3 C Principles of mustachemanship. The 3 Cs are: Creativity, Condition, and Character. The Board consists of Auntie Lee, Auntie Jean, Grandma VanDrunen, and a popular vote. The award will be a $900.00 Visa gift card, sponsored by Becky Vanderzee. Get your grow on.

Trollstock.  One of the best events Trin puts on every year...our annual talent show.
My roomies and I decided that we would try to bring a little comic relief to all of the typical singing and dancing acts this year, SO we did our best to keep our act a secret and shock the audience of over 300.

We called our team Sync or Swim.  And in the midst of a great deal of raw talent, we took home the gold...the GRAND PRIZE at Trollstock 2012.
