I Can Has Beard?

The SXSW Bing + Cheezburger Party on Saturday night was a lot of fun, but the stand out of the evening was Mr. Troy Landwehr.  Besides rocking some sweet facial scruff, this beardo is a renowned cheese artist who single handedly carved 1200 lbs of cheese down to 640 pounds of cheddar lolcat works of art, featuring feline favorites such as Standing CatNora the Piano Cat,Gizmo the Flushing Cat, and Monorail Cat. The bash was part of a promotion for Friskies® Tasty Treasures™, a new line of Friskies cheese flavored cat food.
 
The next day the sculptures were moved outside, where 500 SXSWi hungover, munchie cravers were given free grilled cheese sandwiches. Noms!
