It's been a few weeks since the Asylum staff shed its mustachioed glory. Yet, in the wee hours of the night, we can still feel the faint warmth of a phantom lip sweater reminding us that the potential for greatness lies waiting within our faces' follicles (but not in Lance Armstrong's).

And by greatness, we really mean benevolence, referring specifically to the Movember fundraiser we participated in to raise money for cancer research. It raised more than $30 million worldwide, so the folks at Movember held a soiree to honor the 'stached in New York City on Dec. 4.

We sent Asylum's soup-strainer-sporting Brian Childs to the event to give us insight into Movember's mystique. While the party was a joyous occasion, it also had a bittersweet end for our now 'stache-less reporter.

    If the kid on the left is Will Robinson, he's definitely in danger -- Grandpa's laser blaster is precariously close to his head.
