Thanks for participating in this crazy mixed-up thing we call Whiskerino. You brought forth so many fantastic photos... I hope people truly appreciate all that you did here.

Will you be at the Wilco show in Mobile? I will be driving down for it. Maybe we can meet up?

GFMorris says:: Dude, you already fuckin' live here.

And yes, I'm glad to know you and Laura as a result of this. I expect that we'll still hang out when not engaged in beardly pursuits and such. [And I hope you keep your beard, albeit trimmed neatly. But that's up to you and her, I guess.]

See you around town!!!

Grey Beard says:: Dude, your beard is but one small thing for which I am eternally proud to be your father. You've grown into a wonderful young man whose life so positively affects so many others. That's what's most important in life.
Posted: Feb 29th, 2008 - 3:21pm

Jake says:: Your photos have been stellar, and you've been a real gentleman. Hope to see you around the internets on a very frequent basis...
Posted: Feb 29th, 2008 - 3:42pm

Laura's Mom says:: Brandon, first I started coming here to see your photographs, and then your Dad's, and then before long I had a fairly long list of beards whose photographs I looked forward to seeing every day. Laura's Dad even got interested. Who would have imagined something so simple could be so fabulously entertaining. Thanks to you and Laura and all your bearded friends - this was so much fun!

Caronna says:: Great shot man!
Posted: Feb 29th, 2008 - 3:57pm

Tomcat says:: I agree, dear Pip (still hard to call you Brandon), let's not wait until 2009. I'm just going to pretend that that ticket is for Madison. It was a pleasure meeting you and having you as a bearded friend. Keep in touch.

And I'm glad you exist. If you're ever in Atlanta, look me up. If I'm ever near Huntsville, I'll do the same.

Roo says:: pip ,er brandon its been great and i agree this was a lot of fun. if you are ever up this way look us up.

motke says:: It seemed slightly unreasonable to expect the inhabitants of the magnificent town to wait up for him. His hotel room was already waiting; the pre-warmed sheets and pre-tasted water was what had drawn him to the building in the first place. He also loved the chubby cherubim that hovered above the entrance, their chubby cheeks and soft voices singing songs of new lands and various sweets sold by the snack bar.

modestly_modest says:: wow, i cant believe the end is here already.

I am glad to have grown and shown here with you. You shots were truly fantastic. Take care and I will see you in 2009.

Farewell Pip.

Ace says:: like ive told you before pip, your photos are some of the most memorable to me and im surprised you have so few kbs. but regardless, your portfolio is awesome and i was glad i was able to meet such greatness in person. thanks for being awesome and see you in 09.
Posted: Feb 29th, 2008 - 8:41pm

elldub says:: There's a few shots that stand out from this year - and yours is right up there with them. It was great seeing you (briefly) during the festivities of last week and hope that we see each other soon.

Thanks for the inspiration.

Freshie says:: And a hearty farewell to you to sir.

Ziggy says:: Can I come crash on the couch? I've always wanted to visit A-town.
Posted: Feb 29th, 2008 - 8:57pm

Mateo says:: Thanks for a great whiskerino Pip! And say thanks to Laura for me for making me laugh so hard when we were all in the talk back early on when you were on travel in...San Diego I think it was. We were all trading horrible jokes. It was great.

So, finally, are you a tree?
Posted: Feb 29th, 2008 - 8:57pm

chesterfly says:: Thanks pip. Be good.
Posted: Feb 29th, 2008 - 9:10pm

wonder made says:: Also, I wish there was a context to sit down and have a meal with you. I, of course, just left that context and failed at that goal. But I was too rigid about my desire to go in with no expectations or plans and it cost me.

So hopefully I'll be able to redress that error in the future. Should you be around Orlando, or even just Tarpon Springs again (my in-laws are out in that direction), drop me a line.
Posted: Feb 29th, 2008 - 9:51pm

J dub says:: full crowns for the train. perhaps we shall grown and show together another day.
Posted: Feb 29th, 2008 - 10:14pm

Eli says:: Pip, you are bad ass. Really. Please let us know whenever you're in town so we can hang more. Or, if you just wanna drive up to hang for a day let us know! Anytime. We'll do the same.
See ya, man!!

hale! ryan! says:: carry on with your awesomeness pip, carry on.
Posted: Feb 29th, 2008 - 11:14pm

McGeezer says:: Pip, you're a first class beard for sure. I wish I had a cushy internet job so I could comment on all your great photos, but maybe by 2009 I will. You did great work, even if I didn't get to tell you, you had many crowns from me!

Godspeed back atcha!
