Day 30 – The beard is mighty

November 30th, 2009 § 0

I am back in Denver and in full swing for the party on Friday.  I do not know how to say it any louder or more annoyingly, PLEASE RSVP for the love of all that is good in this world, PLEASE RSVP.

We need your name on the RSVP list if you are coming.  This will help us to know how many people are coming and whether I am letting down our sponsors (Mike’s Hard Lemonade Co and The Rackhouse Pub).  I personally promised a ton of people and I need your help in making that happen. SO PLEASE RSVP NOW!!

Movember Day 29 – I drove alot today

November 29th, 2009 § 0

I don't know if you can tell, but I am worn out!

I don't know if you can tell, but I am worn out!

I am sorry to say there are not a ton of Movember updates for today.  I went to KC on black Friday to get my new truck, replace some parts & do maintenance, and then today I drove the whole day away from KC to Denver.  Basically, I did zero amount of work on anything pertaining to computers, the internet or Movember (other than grow my beard) this weekend.  I am crashing pretty quickly so it is off to bed for me.  I have to get up and be a programmer in the morning, so sleep is imperative.

Day 28 – Movember

November 28th, 2009 § 0

I have been working on the car all day and am posting this from my cell phone, so I don’t have a picture today…

If you want to go to the party, please RSVP!!

Day 27 – A haircut, but no shave

November 27th, 2009 § 0

I decided that both growing my beard and my hair out was a bad idea. I had entirely too much hair atop my head, so one had to go. I gave myself a haircut.

Please RSVP for the party we are holding on Dec 4th, there will be over $1500 in prizes available!

Party on Dec 4th, why you should RSVP and it’s Day 20 of Movember

November 20th, 2009 § 0

I am helping to organize a party for Dec 4th to benefit The Prostate Cancer Foundation and the Lance Armstrong Foundation.  Both of these charities are aimed at ridding the world of Prostate Cancer, or at least demote it to the level of the common cold.

The party will be at The Rackhouse Pub on Kalamath and Alameda in Denver, CO.  We already have a ton of prizes lined up (see the eventbrite page) and some great people coming. Since the event is to celebrate the Mo (Mustache or Moustache if you’re english) we are going to be having some barbers come and clean up our No Shave November Beards into Awesome Metal Mustaches.  We’re going to leave it up to he barber to decide what they will look like, should be fun!

In order to continue to get great prizes, sponsorship and to keep my sanity I really need you to RSVP ASAP if you are going.  There is a core group of people who have been working hard to make sure that this event is big and lots of fun, so please show your support for the cause and these people by hitting the RSVP button and reserving a spot for our party on your calendar. Plus, all you have to do is show up, drink some beer, and enjoy all the mustachioed goodness of a Movember party!

The beard so far

Day 15 No Shave November

November 15th, 2009 § 0

Well, it’s halfway through the month and my beard is, well… not grown in as much as I would like. Oh well.

Yesterday was a good day for getting things ready for the Metal Mustache Party.  I got a great location lined up and some great prizes for the raffle as well.

The wall hanging over my left shoulder (right side) is from Japan. Melissa got it for me while she was there for work.

Day 12 NSN starting out…interesting

November 12th, 2009 § 0

Well, so in my efforts to plan this event to raise some money I had two things happen yesterday, one good and one possibly not good.  The possibly not good one first, its possible that the location I found for the party may not be able to have us.  They have promised me a definite answer today by 3pm. The good news is that I talked with Eric at The LoHi Steakbar, who very kindly donated a $50 gift certificate to raffle off at the party.

I am going tonight to another business to hopefully get some more items to give away or raffle.

If you are interested in going to the party, even though I don’t know where it will be, you can go the Metal Mustache Event Page and get some tickets. I will continue to post updates here on my blog and on the event page as I find things out.

Day 4 of No Shave November, Movember, and Novembeard

November 4th, 2009 § 0

Sorry this is being published late!

Day 4 has brought a bit of stubble, finally.  I am not sure if I super-shaved or what!?  Usually, I grow beard faster than this, but I guess I have been channeling my inner pre-pubescent self.  Weird…

Day 3 of No Shave November #nsn & #movember

November 3rd, 2009 § 0

We are on track for an exciting event at the end of the month with our Movember.com Team: The Metal Mustaches. So far we have 17 members, have raised $70 and are in talks with tons of people about getting on the team or participating in some way.

My beard seems a little skittish about growing, but I can tell you it is coming in.  Also, somehow the camera on my laptop is causing me to look about 10 years younger than I actually am.  All in all it is pretty funny.
