SAMPLE BLOG POST -  VERSION TWO (Singular)

SUPPORT MY MUSTACHE!

Let’s be frank: nothing goes together like rock’n’roll and mustaches. From the hirsute Frank Zappa to the flamboyant Freddie Mercury, from Spinal Tap’s Derek Smalls to Motorhead rock god Lemmy Kilmister, rock musicians have never been shy about adorning their upper lips with mustaches.

Not only do I want to be counted amongst the ranks of these rock legends, I also want to help raise money and awareness for my favorite non-profit writing and tutoring center – 826 Seattle. To that end, I am growing a mustache as part of the Third Annual 826 Seattle Mustache-a-Thon. I (and my upper lip) need your support!

SAMPLE BLOG POST - VERSION THREE (Singular)

SUPPORT MY MUSTACHE

When I’m not penning the next Billboard smash hit, sweating on-stage as Seattle’s hardest working musician, or making surprise appearances at local watering holes, I like to take a moment and give back to the community – throughout October and November, I will be growing a mustache as part of the Third Annual 826 Seattle Mustache-a-thon.

826 Seattle is a nonprofit writing and tutoring center that helps students, ages 6 to 18, develop their creative and expository writing skills – all free-of-charge. In a word, what they do is amazing. I am happy to lend my upper lip to this fundraiser, but I need your help.
