Oh Dear

Posted by Kevin Powe on 30 Jun 2007 | Tagged as: Shave For A Cure

I come before you, cap in hand, to inform you of a dire, dire calamity.

While attempting to get the video from my waxing on to the computer, the video camera decided to eat the tape in an impressively final way. I’m not sure if it’s because I took too long to get around to doing it, or what. One thing’s for sure – tapes hate me. While away on my Maleny Vacationette, a very important tape was eaten by the tape recorder there, and it was only due to the intervention of a lovely friend that it was rescued.

My current plan is:

Because of all of the hullaballoo with moving, I haven’t been back to the waxer’s in a while. I’m currently thinking of regrowing my lush coat for the ski trip to NZ I’ll be going on in July. Sooooo…

I’ll go back to the waxer when I hit Melbourne, and go through the whole painful experience from scratch, and get that recorded. This time, I won’t be so tardy in getting it into a file format. And then I’ll put that video on YouTube.

In case anyone with a vested interest is still reading this, I apologise for the whole saga being so drawn out.

Your Space Monkey Thanks You

$2572.87

 

 

That’s how much you guys rock. That’s how much we raised. Scratch that – how much you raised with your incredible generosity. Thank you so much! I can’t express how awesome you all are.

I’ll talk with more eloquence soon (heavy work schedule has taken its toll) but in the meantime… I’d also like to thank the following people/companies, in no particular order:

  • Integral Technology Solutions, the awesome company I work for, for their incredibly generous donation.
  • Paris, Texas for being willing to play along with having my waxing recorded, and for their donation also.
  • Diane Hodson at TUSC for her help in promoting the Shave inside my workplace, and with organising a Gold Coin donation morning tea.
  • Rebekah Harris at Modified News for pimping the cause, and her generous donation: http://www.modified-news.com
  • Gwyn McVay for pimping the cause… buy her book!
    Gwyn for taking most excellent photos of the shave!
    Jackie for taking most excellent photos and video of the waxing!

    And the following dear friends for promoting my shave over livejournal: artbroken, bunnitos, drjon, greenglowgrrl, missedangel, and anyone I might have missed. Especially anyone I’ve missed.

    Now, I’m still in the process of editing the video from the waxing, and I’ll have shiny new photos from the razor shave tomorrow night, but in the meantime, I do have photos from the shave and waxing up at flickr, as the first part of your pound of flesh:

    I spent some time putting descriptions to photos, mostly because I love the sound of my own voice. Let me know what you think.

    Showing Tonight: Shorn of the Deed

    Posted by Kevin Powe on 16 Mar 2007 | Tagged as: Shave For A Cure

    This is it, peoples – 6:30 PM, Pig and Whistle at Riverside. The shave.

    Come on down, and I’ll stand you a pint in proud Saint Patrick’s Day tradition. $1 from every drink goes to the Leukemia Foundation, so you’re drinking for a good cause. I’m planning to get thoroughly philanthropic by the end of the night.

    On a side note, I’m still looking for someone trustworthy enough to apply a razor to my head… if I don’t get takers, I’m going to have to try and shave my head in the mirror, which doesn’t seem like that good an idea.

    Have a great Saint Pattie’s day!

    Also: keep an eye peeled for updates and extensive amounts of media detailing what your money has got you… you guys are the best!
