OK…so we did it. It’s happening. Hank Green and the Perfect Strangers…our first album. It’s a thing, it’s happening now. It’s available for pre-order in both clean and explicit versions and it will ship in the beginning of May (hopefully end of April, but I’m padding the estimates.) Every pre-order will be signed…so you’ve got two weeks!

The clean version, btw, doesn’t just have bleeped lyrics, it’s entirely kid friendly. Example, the line “Put a light bulb up in my ass” in “I’d Rather” is changed to “Swallow an entire live bass.”

14 tracks, some songs you’ve heard, some you haven’t. It’s a six panel digipack with a 12 page booklet…all the lyrics included. 

I cobbled The Perfect Strangers together by asking some of my most talented friends if they would be in my band. It was a crap shoot, but Andrew Huang, Joe DeGeorge, and Rob Scallon all signed on and lent their amazing talents to this project. We will be playing our very first live show at VidCon, and then we’ll be going on a short tour…with some AMAZING guests…but if you’re not in the western US you will, unfortunately, be out of luck for that particular tour. 

Anyway, I’m getting off topic. THERE’S AN ALBUM! I LOVE IT! If you buy it now it will be signed!  CLEAN and EXPLICIT

One thing I am really good at is growing hair. I have cut my hair for donation on five occasions.  My good friend Sydney Green has two wonderful sons (I hope my sons grow up as wonderfully as hers have).

One of her sons wrote the book The Fault in Our Stars.  A beautifully written, young adult novel.  His book is being made into a major motion picture and the actress portraying Hazel, Shailene Woodley, is cutting her hair this weekend for the movie and to donate.  A movement of sorts is underway and many women, girls, and even some men are cutting their long locks to give back to children who have lost their hair not by choice, but by illness.  

Sydney shared Shailene's tumblr post on Facebook and I knew where I wanted my hair to go.  This haircut (and the previous two) will be sent to www.childrenwithhairloss.us.

And here's a haircut hint for those with long hair who don’t want to lose all of their length: if you make your ponytail for donation on top of your head, you get layered hair and keep some length.
