We’re now 12 days into Movember and, thus far I’ve got mixed results. For those that aren’t up to speed on this, Movember is the month when men grow out the mustache to raise awareness and funds to fight prostate and testicular cancers. Hey, it’s a lot more macho than wearing a pink shirt, right?

Anyhoo, thus far my fans and I have only raised about $185 for the cause. ACK! This is pitiful! It’s not even close to the $1,250 that C.C. Chapman has raised! This is unacceptable! We must TAKE HIM DOWN! All you have to do to assure victory (and help fight cancer) is donate right here…

Of course, on the lighter side of things, my Mo is totally beating the crap out of C.C.’s. And that’s what really matters, isn’t it? He’s even trying to make his Mo look bigger by losing a bunch of weight… nice try, CCFC, but your little stunt will do nothing for you (except make you healthier and look better), my ’stache is already lifting weights and taking Tae-Kwan-Mo. WE WILL DESTROY YOU IN A STEEL CAGE! Or something…

It’s time to kick testicular cancer in the balls.

In case you didn’t hear the latest episode of Accident Hash, I’m challenging C.C. Chapman and others to grow out a ’stache to help raise awareness and funds for men’s cancer research.

So do me and every man a favor… go to www.matthewebel.com/movember and donate some cash (or grow your ’stache). All proceeds are split between the Prostate Cancer Foundation and the Lance Armstrong Foundation, so every dollar helps!

UPDATE: All slots have been filled. Thanks so much to those of you who spread the word!

The next five people that join my mailing list will be gifted a FREE part of my next album at Sellaband. That means when I hit the goal and the album is produced, you’ll receive a free limited-edition version of the album and share in the sales for the next 5 years! Oh yeah, you’ll also get 3 free songs right now.

Along with them, anyone who referred those 5 people will ALSO get a free part. So if you’re already on my mailing list, go grab a friend and tell ‘em where to get their free music!

Of course, if you want more than just the one part, you can always grab more and get extra benefits right here:
