Check it out!  I’ve started what could prove to be the greatest beard knowledge resource of all time!

If you know anything at all about beards, please write some articles on what you know – right now.  A wiki only becomes great if people muster the courage to contribute.  Since we The Bearded are known for our courage, this shouldn’t be a problem.

Well, folks, my hosting provider “upgraded” my server this week without notifying me first.  In the process, they conveniently deleted the SQL database for the Beard Coach.  Awesome.  Thank goodness I backed it up for the first time ever just a few months ago.

I just recreated the database and restored the previous files.  Sadly, that just took us all back in time to January.  That means no winner to the beard playoffs (Brett Kiesel) and no Beard Wiki (was not lost and will be back shortly).

Thanks for your patience as I get the site back up and running between juggling my full-time job, college coursework to meet continuing education requirements for said job, and raising my eight-month-old daughter!

Yep, old Coach Adam plays a little music every so often. And I have my first solo album coming out soon!  I guess I’d have to describe my brand of beard rock like this:

Take two cups of traditional folk songs add a cup of fat 70’s blues-rock.  Stir well.  Whisk in a tablespoon of historical fiction, a teaspoon of blue-eyed soul, and a dash of female background vocals.  That pretty much bakes up my first E.P. album as a solo artist.

Here, take a listen!

Like my styles? Then pre-order the Ride E.P. by clicking the link below and help your favorite beard mentor launch his music career! As soon as I get 100 copies pre-ordered, I’ll have them pressed and ship them out!  Spread the word to anyone and everyone you think would like my style of beard rock!

The Boy Scouts just started a pretty amazing ad campaign recently.  Check these out!

They certainly grab your attention.  And I can’t help but admire the beards (and whomever they actually grew on).  They may be a bit unsettling.  But maybe in an intriguing way?  They’re fantastic?  They’re frightening?  My circuit boards are getting fried here.

What do you think?  Too weird or too awesome?
