bearded musicians

A couple weeks ago, a fellow Etsy seller contacted me asking if I made Jona Bechtolt (of the Portland band YACHT) a beard in the last few years. I replied, "I wish!" Apparently he did a tour with Devendra Banhart a while back, and was jealous of the many beards worn by his fellow musicians... Thus, a fake beard. The fellow etsian was nice enough to send over this photo:

Amazing, right? If only I knew how to knit/crochet... My first rainbow beard was undoubtedly influenced by Jona's other beard, but unfortunately, we have yet to collaborate.

YACHT is totally awesome. He played over here in NZ a few years back with Panther (also awesome) and it was a kick ass gig. Would have been more kick ass if he'd been bearded, but still, kick ass.

You should send him one and ask for a pitch! You'll be making beards so fast, you'll wonder what it was like to have a day off!

Found your stuff on www.laurawarecki.blogspot.com & it just makes me laugh. Thanks for making such a fun product.
