This is my friend, Kate (on the right). I don’t know who the guy is on the left; I think he might have been her boyfriend or something. I’m giving her props for coining the them “stachist.” We were talking on gchat and she said that she came up with a new word: stachist. Like fascist. You could also call it stachism, like fascism. Brilliant idea, I thought. Immediately and instinctively I checked if the domain name had been registered, assuming that it probably was, like every other -ist domain name. It wasn’t, I registered it and now here we are 19 posts later and still going strong.

After buying it I realized it seems like a copy of SFist or Gothamist. But whatever. It’s derived from fascist by my friend Kate.

I had been thinking about making a mustache blog for a while and I had crappier .org domain names like savethestache.org and shavethestache.org. Those are no good. Now that I have a solid domain name, I’m motivated, I feel like the blog writes itself. I guess it helps that I’m also kinda sorta unemployed.
