Jessamine and I's romance began during the first Whiskerino and nearly 7 years later, we're kissing Whiskerino goodbye as husband and wife. It's a passionate kiss, though.

I'll keep some version of the beard and she'll keep on loving it. Thanks for being friends; you will always be. Do not hesitate to call, email or fax if you're swinging by NYC — I want to hang out with you.

Of course, @mackle - this entire decade of my life has been hued with the colors of your work.

EdwardTeach says:: great shot.

Paragone says:: I'm really sad that I didn't get to meet your wife, nor did you get to meet mine BUT we are planning a trip up north very soon so I will look you up. Thanks for bringing the Pugh sauce to this crazy event. To bad your brother couldn't hang. jerk.

Take care Mr. Chad

Kevin! says:: In my heart, you will always have a monstrous beard. The kind of beard that causes children to hold tight their mother's calfs for safety.

Somehow I haven't gotten to know you especially well over the past couple years. I always thought you seemed like a cool dude, so we should do something about that. Or not. Whichever.

Cheers.

Army of Whiskers says:: You are awesome in photo and rad in person. It was good chatting with you in person during the throwdown. Hopefully I can send some work your way soon.

I make it out to NYC about once a year, so I may take you up on your offer to hang out. And you should come visit Phoenix some time and hang out with hale, noelix and I.

Ace says:: so chad... i know our interaction at the past 2 throwdown were quite minimal, ( i think i danced with you at one point in the night right?) but i must say, i enjoy your photos every whiskerino. they borderline wacky and insane usually... just the way i like it. if im in new york ever, i probably wont get a hold of you because i dont know you that well at all... but then again maybe i will for the heck of it. stay golden dude.

mackle says:: jesus chad.. I've been browsing the site for like 5 hours now leaving comments and I hit this and got a tiny bit teary. I know you wouldn't approve of such un-man-ly activities but this is just beyond sweet.

I cherish our friendship. I can't begin to express how much I love knowing the whole Pugh family. Those six weeks in Casey's apartment hanging out with you regularly are among hte best of my whole life. I'm floored that I get to be friends with you... and Jessamine.. and Casey.. and Bryan.. etc. etc. You have improved my life by an exponential degree that mathematicians can't even comprehend.

So, that was totally over the top but I'm digging into some wine and it's all flowing out. You are fantastic and I love you.

Your Beard Is Luxurious.

Chad Pugh says:: @mackle - Strong men also cry. I wanted Jessamine to just be in the picture kissing my beard goodbye, but then I realized how long and special this event has been. The result is of me realizing how long this community and, most of all, you have been a part of my life. Thanks again, I'm glad this web site doesn't mean the end of ours and ever friendship you've delivered to me.

specialshoes says:: though i only met you briefly and had the shortest of exchanges, you seemed rad and I've heard nothing but great things about you. awesome growing and showing with you. your photos are rad and your parting caption is inspiring. hope all continues to stay well in your life and perhaps our paths can cross again when i have had fewer alcoholic beverages.

take care and best wishes.
