Getting Down To The Wire

June 9th, 2009

Here we are less than 24 hours away from the big event. It’s hard to think that by this time tomorrow I will more or less be bald. A lot of people have been asking me if I’m nervous, and I’m not and doubt I’ll ever get to nervous in the traditional sense (let’s be honest, it’s just hair), but I am starting to have some very reflective thoughts.

I’ve done a lot in these last two years. I’ve set up a whole new life in California. I’ve worked at the same place (AOL) the entire time, but my job has changed radically more than a few times. I’ve gained weight, I’ve lost weight. I’ve loved, I’ve been heartbroken. I’ve lost a few friends, and I’ve gained more than a few. I’ve made some crazy life choices, and continued to challenge myself. I’ve moved, three times. I’ve gotten a new (for me) car. I’ve gotten two new driver’s licenses. I’ve gotten a new tattoo…. and piercing. I’ve still got the same bed. I’ve still got my same amazing family. I’ve lost many random bets.

All in all, very reflective, extremely thankful, but not nervous. Then again, check in with me tomorrow.

Please Be Our Guest

June 9th, 2009

I’d like to cordially invite everyone who’s reading this to come down to Christophe Salon in Beverly Hills on June 10th between 4-7pm to participate in our Locks of Love fundraiser. Let’s run down some of the reasons you need to be there:

  • The event is completely open to the public, so everyone’s invited!
  • You don’t need to donate your hair, all salon services will benefit Locks of Love.
  • Free food and drinks are always a good sticking point.
  • It’s for a good cause.
  • I’ll be there, Causecast will be there.
  • It’s for an amazing cause.

If you’ll be in the LA area tomorrow, please find your way over to Beverly Hills and help us make a difference in some kids lives.

Locks of Love

June 9th, 2009

This is what it’s all about. I’ve talked a lot about me on this site, but this fundraiser is not about me in the slightest. This is for the kids who are going through an awful, traumatic time in their lives, and Locks of Love who helps them get through it just a little bit easier.

Here’s Locks of Love in their own words: Our mission is to return a sense of self, confidence and normalcy to children suffering from hair loss by utilizing donated ponytails to provide the highest quality hair prosthetics to financially disadvantaged children. The children receive hair prostheses free of charge or on a sliding scale, based on financial need.

If you’re interested in hosting an event, contributing financially, or donating your own hair, please check out their site for more information. Many salons are already set up to donate your hair directly, or you can even cut your own hair and send it in by following this simple video.

Most importantly, just find a way to make a difference.

Change in Time

June 3rd, 2009

Our venue is still the same, but we had to move the time that we’re doing the Big Cut at back just a little bit. It will now be from 4pm-7pm PST on June 10th. We’ll still be broadcasting live, and there will still be a video highlight the next day. So please join us, virtually or in person, for all of the festivities!

Just one week to go.

An Introduction to Causecast

June 1st, 2009

Causecast.org has been near and dear to my heart for the past year and a half. I’ve watched them grow from a great idea into a great site that’s making legitimate change in the world. I’ve got fantastic friends there that I know I will have for a lifetime. In just a little over a week from now, Causecast is going to help me put on this once in a lifetime event. I can’t talk highly enough about them, so here’s Levi Felix with a little bit more about the company:

Causecast is an online global community and social action network that connects, promotes and empowers individuals, businesses and nonprofits with media, resources and groundbreaking tools that transform interest into action, directly influencing positive change. By measuring our progress, we will have an increasingly large impact on the course of history. Join us at Causecast.org
