Hey everyone, just wanted to drop you guys a note and let you know that thanks to you and people like you, Mustaches for Kids NY 2007 was a big success (though weirdly, they've not updated the site to reflect it yet). No, I did not win the title of "Mustache King of New York," but I did make it to the semi-finals, thank you very much -- largely due to my ability to lift a toy boat with my 'stache and a pair of alligator clips (ow!), and also my 'stache's ability to retain an impressive amount of Guinness foam. (Well, I might have had some practice on that one!).
All in all, we raised well over the projected goal of $40,000, all of which will be going to children's school programs in the New York area, and though they didn't have my final online tally when I last checked, I know that I personally raised well over $400 for the cause. So to everyone who pitched in or cheered me on, thanks again.
And for those of you who are wondering... I still haven't shaved the darn thing off yet. I'm kind of growing fond of having a classic 'stache. Every time I'd grown one before, it'd wind up some hipster handlebar/Lemmy-type thing, but this one feels kind of classy. I'm thinking that i might let a winter beard grow in around it and see how I feel about it then. Thoughts?
