THE TEN RULES TO GROWING A PLAYOFF BEARD
1. You don’t have to commit to the beard, just do something else that is a ritual. Maybe you set your alarm clock to 9:18 everyday. I don’t care what, just do something.
2. Once you commit, you commit. No shaving because it gets hot in June or your parents want you to for graduation or work or anything like that. Once you’re in, you’re in. Don’t mess things up for the Canucks now. DON’T BE THAT GUY.
3. If you can’t grow a beard and still try, or can only grow something that makes you resemble a Russian porn star, be aware that you may only be bringing the beard karma down. We’re striving for quality over quantity here.
4. If you can’t grow a beard, but one of your good friends can, you are required to try and get him to do it. He must be tough enough to put up with a beard even when it gets hot and also a Nucks fan. Jean Sebastian Giguere of the Mighty Ducks hated his beard, but because teammates told him he could grow a “nasty one”, he “did it for the team.” It is your job to relay this spirit to your friends.
5. If you do grow a beard, you have to let your hair grow too. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. That’s the rule.
6. After a loss, and only after a loss, you are allowed to trim the beard. TRIM DOES NOT MEAN SHAVE! If you are confused about this concept, ask your girlfriend. If you are single, you can also ask the girlfriend of a Chicago fan after you get done slamming her behind his back.
7. After a win, you do nothing to the beard. Nothing. Even if the next playoff series is a week away. DON’T TOUCH IT.
8. The last one was a lie. You should thank it and ask it to continue giving you luck and wisdom through a playoff run. (If you grow a playoff beard, you will become smarter. Or you will appear smarter, one of the two.)
9. If you know someone who grows a beard for another team and that team is eliminated, you must make sure that he A.) shaves the beard and does not just try to hop on another team’s bandwagon and B.) hears comments like “babyface” or “hairless rat” for the remainder of the playoffs.
10. If you have a friend or girlfriend who doesn’t like the beard, tell them to f—- off. The Canucks have BY FAR the hottest fan base around. If you lose one girl because of your commitment to a sports team, you will in turn pick up three much hotter girls because of that same commitment.

Day 12 - Andrew Goldstein & Co
For our last writing session of the trip we headed up into the hills north of LA to work with Andrew Goldstein from the band Friday Night Boys, and Dan and Lexei, his crew of friends/cowriters/coproducers.
It was really inspiring to work with them and see their set up, their efficiency and their talent at work. Just all around good dudes and we wrote a killer tune together that we’re really excited about!
Here’s the pics:

Andrew programming some fat beats…with a capital F or PH, however you roll, but this track sounds sick!

Getting ready to make some garage rock…home studios in garages have brought a whole new meaning to ‘garage band’

….and the view from their backyard. SO jealous!!!
Day 10 & 11 - Justin Gray
Over the past two days, Faber and I sat in Justin Gray’s home studio watching the rain and wind ravage Los Angeles while writing two fun new songs. Justin is a talented producer/songwriter who does a lot of work for Disney and Canadian band MTL as well as many others.
Good dude, good tunes, good times…not to mention a wicked stash of candy in his studio. Here’s some pics for ya:

The great flood of Los Angeles 2011! This city is not prepared for that much rain
