How awkward it is to wear an undeveloped moustache! As it slowly emerges from the rest of the stubble on my face it becomes a point of embarasment. Am I relapsing into adolescence? I look like someone who belongs in a lineup. People are afraid to make eye contact. Yet I soldier on through these hard times toward a gloriously full moustache that I am growing for charity in 826 Chicago's Moustache-A-Thon. This event isn't much different from a race where you sponsor a runner, but instead of sponsoring the hard work of some ambitious runner, people sponsor the strange patch of hair growing absent mindedly beneath somebody's nose. I highly recommend visiting the website so you can see pictures of the contestants, get the highlights from the "weigh-ins" (where we all get together to parade our moustaches for the judges and discuss the triumph and folly that is a new moustache). I would also appreciate any donations you make on my behalf. I know my moustache isn't much to behold right now, but with your support I might become the 2007 Mustache champion of Chicago, which puts me right behind the sausage king of Chicago on the list of who's who in Chicago. Time out Chicago recently did a piece on the Moustache-A-Thon which will be running in the next couple weeks. Check it out! You can look forward to a quote about my invisi-stache (the bane of the blonde moustache grower's existance) and who knows what else.

Moustaches for fun and charity
