The Messenger, Progressive Insurance’s stached spokesman who is all about saving it forward is sponsoring the inaugural International Moustache Film Festival in beautiful Portland, Maine. For those of you keeping score, I moved to Portland from Brooklyn a year and a half ago and have been impressed by the number of mustaches that have shown themselves in Portland. While the stache level does not approach Brooklyn, Portland represents well, and this film festival is a huge deal.  Check out the broad array of films that will be on shown for your stached pleasure. And, of course, the film festival will be followed by the Stache Pag, where dozens if not hundreds of men will compete in five categories.

Stache Pag, an annual celebration of mustaches in beautiful Portland, Maine, will be coming March 30th. In this video, some of the mustachioed men who will be in attendance tell the stories behind their classic lip rugs.
