Portland Loves the Beard August 24, 2009

A buddy of mine, Frank, posted this on a message board I like to read from time to time. I thought I’d share it here, because, as you know, I love beards.

Portland Beards

Where have you been? August 18, 2009

It has been brought to my attention that I haven’t updated Year of the Beard much recently. That is very true. I have been quite busy actually, so let’s get started.

I am working on a short movie with fellow Year of the Beard participant Jon Rybicki! We joined a group that makes a movie every month. Each month has its own theme and you have to make a movie to fit the theme. The theme this month is “The Perfect Crime” and Jon and I have been putting a lot of thought into it. Once it is debuted (I believe in early September) I will post it up here.

Sadly, Shark Week is over. What a bummer. But a new season of America’s Best Dance Crew (or ABDC as they call it now) has started. That’s just great.

I am currently wearing a tie, and I went through the trouble to tie a Windsor knot, but you can’t see it because my beard is too long. That’s both awesome and upsetting at the same time.

I’m moving. Again. That will make three moves in six months. I hope this one is pretty permanent though. I am moving in with some friends in a great house in a great part of town. I’m a little worried because one of the people I’m moving in with said, “If I find random beard hairs all over the place I’m kicking you out.” Well, Holly, you will be finding beard hair. I’m sorry, I can’t help it. But please don’t kick me out. You have a cat, I’m sure that thing leaves hair everywhere.

Now, the most important news. Friday, August 28th, at Forti’s in downtown Cleveland Year of the Beard Presents Guest Beardtending! The wonderful people at Forti’s have agreed to let Jon and I guest bartend for one night only! We will be bartending from 8pm to midnight, and if you come with Year of the Beard you get happy hour prices that whole time! Happy hour usually ends at 7 so this is an extremely awesome deal. We’re going to be accepting “tips” throughout the night, and all those tips are going straight to the Domestic Violence Center. So come on out on August 28th! Support the cause! Come say hi! I’ll be the guy behind the bar with the beard.

Forti’s is located at 746 Prospect Ave., Cleveland, OH 44115. I’m going to be adding it to my “events” page soon, with more information about drink and food specials, so keep checking back.

Year of the Beard signing out!

Shark Week! August 3, 2009

It’s the best week of the year. Shark Week. If you can name a better week, I’ll give you a free Year of the Beard shirt.

But don’t even try because there’s no better week.
