Tonight We Herald The Coming Mustache-alypse.

Mustaches for Kids official grow season kicks off tonight. What does that mean to you? Well, here in Houston it means that you can hit up Cedar Creek at 7 pm to watch a bunch of dudes shave their stubbly faces, for charity.

Houstonist knows what you're thinking - how the hell can mustaches help kids, other than those high-schoolers desperate to prove that they're "becoming a man?" Simple: some fellas get together and pit themselves against one another to see who can grow the sweetest lip rug between November 12th and December 12th. Oh, and they take donations - you know, like that time you ran a 5K to save the endangered fugu fish or whatever it was, except there's no running.

This year, the Houston chapter of M4K has selected Workshop Houston as it's designated charity. Workshop does some fantastic work over in the 3rd Ward, schoolin' kids on fashion design, beat-makin', homework-doin', and bike-fixin'. Houstonist loves the fact that we can stop into 3rd Ward bike shop to tune up our two-wheeler, so we heartily approve of the choice.

You can support Houstonist's very own Marc Brubaker, who'll be at Cedar Creek cleaning up his visage tonight, in preparation for the Battle of the 'Stache, or you can make a simple donation via Chip-In.

[Update: our man has a scheduling conflict, so he won't be attending the opening cermonies of the 'Stache-alympics, but he's still in the fight.]
