In recent days Fire midfielder Daniel Paladini has been putting in some decent work to grow this handlebar mustache....
What's the motivation behind this new look?
"A lot of it has to go through my dad," Paladini explained "I saw a picture of him a couple weeks ago with my uncle that passed away – they used to rock the handlebar mustache so I decided I was going to try it out." While the sentimental motivation is there, the veteran also explains his more covert intentions with the team taking a few days off beginning Thursday.
"It works well because there’s a little festival we’ll be going to on this upcoming break – Bonnaroo 2012. I think I’ll fit in well there with the hippies."
Paladini will head to the music festival in Tennessee this weekend with teammates Corben Bone and Chris Rolfe and is most looking forward to seeing the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
As for tips for survival at Bonaroo, our resident "Always on the Inside" cameo man Orr Barouch, tells his teammate to stay away from the Sonic Forest... (props to anyone that gets that reference).
