Last year, I followed the progress of Brian Klems as he grew a moustache during the month of November for Movember, a fundraiser dedicated to supporting research on prostate cancer. (Click here to see Brian's 2010 progress.) I'll have more to say on growing moustaches later this month, but I decided to join Brian (and many others) in his efforts this year.
This post will collect my day-by-day progress of moustache growing in 2011. By the end of the month, there should be 30 stache pics. Good stuff.

I wonder how a woman could participate in this . . . grow armpit hair? Or stop shaving her legs?
It is a worthy cause. I'll follow your progress and wow . . . you have a face underneath all that facial hair!
Awesome to see such support for a great cause!!
Thanks for the comments!
I've never done a moustache, so we'll see how it grows.

Mariana,
If you're talking about the November PAD Chapbook Challenge, yes, you may compete. The deadline is for submission of a chapbook manuscript of 10-20 pages. I'll include the link for the complete rules near the end of the month to remind everyone how to submit.
Best,
Robert
Your mustache is lovely and ferocious. Sorry about the stomach flu. Those are the worst.
I love how you have chronicled the growth in pictures.
