Banish The Beard: Donate Now!
You know, I love my beard. I love its length, girth and breadth, its unique whispy feel and its oh-so-metal look. I have had it for six years and it completes me. Despite my affection to the little fella under my chin, I am willing to shave it off for charity at LUGRadio Live 2006.
So, this is the deal. I want to raise at least £400 for Amnesty International, but I think we can smash that. £400 was the target for people visiting LUGRadio Live 2006, but I want to all of you people who read my blog either directly, or via Planet GNOME, Planet GStreamer, Planet Advocacy, Planet LUGRadio or the OSNews Galaxy to donate. Lets see how much we can raise – the disaster of my beard’s demise could really help human rights around the world.
So, go and DONATE!
The actual beard shaving will happen when we record LUGRadio Live And Unleashed on the first day of LUGRadio Live 2006. Video will be provided online.

Additional idea: auctioneer your shaved off beard either at lugradio live or even at eBay. I think some people would spend big money for sticking your beard on their hat.

Trackback’s suck. Shaving your beard off for charity doesn’t – I look forward to seeing this on video Jono – good luck

I commented on the forums, I would have joined as I shaved off an almost 2 inch jono style beard this week (about 6 or 7 months growth with careful trimming to get a long pointy wizard beard it was as well) if you had blogged about this a day or two earlier I would have joined you.
Angry_angel, I turned off all trackbacking. Not only does it look pants on other sites because it’s not intellegent enough but I started getting trackback spam as well so I killed it boths ways.
