Featured Event: Boston Facial Hair Fiasco The Boston Facial Hair Fiasco is coming this Saturday, and bringing with it loads of beards, Jim Beam and rock ‘n’ roll. Tallboy, a Boston-based production company, is sponsoring the beard and beer-filled competition this Saturday. The concept is hairly – fairly – simple: Facial hair enthusiasts will pine for titles in categories like full natural, full groomed, freestyle, partial and fake (A+ game is recommended for this variety, which allows the use of arts and crafts.) Judges include Sandy Poirier of SHAG Rock Star Hair, Bert Mayer III of the Boston Beard Bureau and Carmen O’Connor of the band Bodega Girls, while bands Township, Black Helicopter and Coyote Kolb will supply music. Now’s the time to grow. As the event’s website says, “It’s beard season.” 69 Kilamock St.; 7 p.m. - 2 a.m.; $10 to attend, $15 to compete; churchofboston.com/club.
