I'm sad to say it, but Movember is finished. All in all, I raised $225 to help raise awareness for men's health issues. And because I raised over $200, I was able to attend, for free, the prestigious Mo Gala at the Capitale in Manhattan. As mentioned earlier, Jill's had some health issues in her family that made it impossible for her to attend. But our good friend Jackie filled in admirably. The event was a big dance party, and we had a lot of fun. We were a bit miffed by the outrageous drink prices (seriously, $10 for wine and champagne? $9 for beer? $6 for water? Please . . .), but that was somewhat ameliorated by a sweet goody bag, which included a Norelco razor! Sadly, I did not win any of the awards (best Mo, best costume, etc.), but come on, look at these pictures -- do you think anyone there looked better than me?
So now that Movember is over, I've shaved off the Mo -- although it was a lot of fun, I really think I'm more of a beard man. I've gone completely clean shaven, and I'm now rebuilding the beard from the ground up. Check the Mo-less Niko:
Once again, a huge thank you to everyone who contributed money to my Mo fund. Words can't express my gratitude.
Now that we're back in New York, I think that will just about do it for this blog. I'm going to keep on blogging over at my site, scream|whisper|shout|stutter (http://nikotaylor.vox.com/), and you can keep tabs on Jillian's music over at http://myspace.com/jillianlubow and http://jillianlubow.vox.com/. Thanks for reading -- it's been a lot of fun. Now that we're back in New York, however, you can see us in person, so pick up the phone and call us!
