beard-a-thon

so jon and i just shaved last night for the last time for at least 7 months...which is from today(9/1/08) to april 6, 2009. that's about 210 days of unrazored facial skin... all in the hopes of raising some funds to build a water well for a village in need in africa.

we'll be posting new picture updates of our beard development on our website here:

beardsfortears.com/beards.htm

we're having a big kick-off bbq today to officially begin our quest to get a well built. hopefully we'll have some new pledgers sign up or at least have some of our brethren join us in support and solidarity of this endeavor by growing their beards along w/ us...

currently our canvases are blank; in 7 months, we hope the outrageous beard growth we attain will be representative of the gift of some fresh, clean drinking water.
