Hey everybody. It’s super late, but I wanted to make sure and get this out tonight, because this is your LAST CHANCE to donate money to 826 CHI for the Moustache-o-thon. As you can hopefully see, my moustache is still pretty thin, but I think it actually turned out quite well, considering. That’s a picture of me listening to the Police (you can almost hear it, can’t you?), taken with my iPhone, because I needed a picture of me and didn’t have anyone else around to take it.

Anyway, please, please, please, please click here if you haven’t yet (and I thank you from the bottom of my heart if you have) to give a suggested $20 to 826 CHI, a great writing center. Here’s what I’ve written so far about this whole thing:

First I told you what the whole thing was about and why 826 CHI was such a great cause (and in fact, if you still don’t believe me, watch Dave Eggers talk about how great it is). Then things slowed down a little bit, but I still updated you with my growth so far. Finally, last week, I threatened some of you with bodily harm, and a good number of you did give money. For that, I am eternally grateful.

But now, it’s shakedown time. I’ve got a ’stache, you’ve got the cash, and it’s time to shell out. You can click here to see all of our growers’ beautiful ’staches and choose your favorite to donate to (mine), or you can click right here to donate directly to me (and by me, I mean donate to 826 CHI in support of my moustache). Again, I’m asking for $20, but you can feel free to give more or less — people have done both so far.

Thanks! I appreciate it! Please do it right now! As for me, it’s after midnight, and I’m going to bed. I need my ’stache sleep.
