The always dapper Michael Heagerty may be the most interesting man in the city (and has a personal style that is always dapper). We thank him for giving us the rules for last night's beard judging competition held at the Landmark Theater.

Musician/cultural attache'/tour guide Michael Heagerty may be the most interesting man in the city (kinda like a younger version of the Dos Equis guy). We appreciate his distinctly dapper personal style and thank him for taking time to explain to us the rules for last night's beard judging competition held at the Landmark Theater. Heagerty is pictured here talking about the virtues of someone's facial hair. He served as the emcee for the runway event as well.
