BREAKING NEWS: Gary IS growing a beard
Dec 28, 2009 at 9:22PM | By El Beardo "2010 will be a really big beard year..." -- Gary Vaynerchuk
The beard, or lack there of, on the face of VaynerMedia co-founder Gary Vaynerchuk (aka @garyvee, the host of Wine Library TV and author of “Crush It!”) has been a topic of discussion in the Build-A-Beard halls since we crossed paths with VaynerMedia staff, and documented our hairy meeting with the post: VaynerMedia - Now Is The Time To (Grow Beards).
Since that time, we've been checking in with their head honcho regularly to get him on the bearded ball, and follow the lead of his staff by listening to our hairy call... then, out of the blue, through all of the cussing we managed to gather that Gary is planning on growing a "Playoff Beard" in 2010 (so that to focus on growing his new biz assets @vaynermedia and @corkd). The bearded calling came out during Loic Le Meur’s Fireside Chat with Gary at Le Web 2009 in Paris earlier this month.
Given Gary's recognizable clean shaven face, we were understandably weary; that is we were, until today... when Gary went public with his hairy ambitions:
Then once our staff pinged Gary with the #proveit request, we received -- along with the rest of his Twitter and Dailybooth communities -- the below mildly hairy proof...
Granted, this isn't the flowing beard we all expected out of the hyper passionate and cause dedicated style that Gary is known for, we are certain that by the end of 2010 (aka the year of the beard), we will all be put to shame with Gary's facial mane.
We don't know about you, but we'll be on the look out... listening, engaging, crushing it, Build-A-Beard style.

B-a-B is impressed with the Veynerchuk hair genes... well done, now our #garysbeardwatch is in full effect!
RT @garyvee it is most certainly coming...

And the beard is off... to the airport. You know how @garyvee rolls, he hustles, and is indeed taking his Playoff Beard on the road, through those revolving doors, into the terminal, through security and onto the plane...
Some (i.e. @GreenLanternJet) made it a point to tell Gary the he must now be more careful with security given his new grizzly self... Yes, this is reality, a sad reality but a reality nonetheless, for us beardos... but remember... it's a small price to pay, and no worse than a physical (when you're 40+)... the only place that wont detain our kind frivolously is probably Beard Airport (in Cumberland County, NC), and maybe one day it'll become an international hub for Beard travel everywhere... a boy can dream.

Glad your beard didn't get you into any trouble in the various airports you were in this week (and that you made it back in time, with AJ's help) Congrats on yet another win by the J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS Gary! The playoff beard is looking good, on local TV or otherwise... keep it up fellow beardo, keep it going strong.
Grow it out, grow it proud!
Buildabeard
He is still at it and going strong! We will always be here to support you Gary.. so to answer your question, "what do we think"? Well, we love it (of course), and are very proud of you! Speaking of, congrats on your 800th WLTV episode, it was a great one... your dad should grow a beard too. We'll start a #sashasbeardwatch ASAP if you green light this.
Buildabeard
it's all over now...it's ok to cry

Wow! I will have to keep my eye on Gary's progress.
looks like he's shaving his chest instead...
happy new year everybody!
Damn, I just shaved this morning after 4 days being in the hospital for our son's delivery on New Year's. I would have had an EDGE on you already (no pun intended)
Haha love it! Though he's got it at the wrong time of year ;).
