To be perfectly honest, the idea of Dan not shaving or cutting his hair for the entire project did seem amusing at first. Imagining Dan with a huge beard and long hair gives the project that "going on forever" type of feel. However now, it's getting old. I believe something should be done.
Nevertheless, he has accepted said task and to shave between now and the end of the project, even by accepting another task, causes some uncertainty in me. But then, I had an idea.
I think Dan should shave his beard/cut his hair just before he decides to tour the country. I shall explain...
If Dan were to come visit a city near you, and you had the chance to meet him or see him, and you had to go through some process of getting your parent's permission to see him, things have to potential to go wrong. Asking your parents if you can go meet this one guy from the internet who looks like a hobo and lived in his mom's basement might raise some issues. That perspective is incredibly disrespectful to Dan, and I personally do not believe that any of those observations make him a bad person, but seen from a cautious parents perspective, you might not be seeing Dan Brown.
The beard/hair "hobo" look a mentioned earlier was a bit harsh, but I'm taking that from personal experience; My father is one of those type of parents. I'm a male 17 year old, so he doesn't have issues with me going to see him if he were to come visit my city, in my case Minneapolis, MN, but I feel some parents might be like my father. Now the beard/hair thing is only ONE of the aspects that might make a cautious parent hesitant to letting their child visit said person, but it's a kinda important one.
If he looked more clean cut, I feel like those parents would be more inclined to let their child visit him. It's a pretty small amount of the population with parents like this, but enough to make a certain viewer unsatisfied.
This is just an idea, hence posting it in a forum. What do you think about it? Should we change Dan's beard/hair situation before he tours the country? I'm eager to hear feedback on this...
