Yesterday, I ordered and sent this hat to Patrick, who represents KMW and other brands I like. Patrick is too cool for school in a very NYC way, though I could also see him transplanted to Portland, or maybe SF. Wears cool Elvis Costello glasses. Owns a showroom in Manhattan with a cool white leather seat thing in the middle. Good looking. Probably owns a fixed gear bike. So I sent him this hat, which he should receive in a few days, and which I describe as hippie Americana douchebag:



No Scottish person ever wove such tartans, I'm pretty sure.

Anyway, the idea is for the hat to travel around the world, to as many places and pass as many hands as possible. I'm going to do some sort of contest too, in a "musical chairs" way, which is to say that the last person to have sent the hat (and the hat has to have been verified as received by the next person), will get a prize of some sort, when I yell "PAUSE". In order to be eligible for the prize, you will have to have taken and posted a picture of yourself wearing said hat in a public place. There will also be a rule to get this really booking. So, for example, in order for someone to be eligible for the prize, the hat has to have passed through X number of hands when I call "PAUSE". This will be ongoing, and the awesomeness of the prize will depend on the awesomeness of the place and picture. So, for example, if you are wearing the hat at a charity event that the president is hosting for the Sudan in the Sudan, you are the man, and the prize will be awesome.

I've been threatening to get this thing to Raan Parton of Apolis, so I'm hoping that this gets to him at some point. I dared him to use it in a Apolis photoshoot, so if he doesn't, he is a chicken.

Have fun.

Fok.

If this is still going on next year I'm going to take a picture of the hat with Jimmy Carter and the Dalai lama.

That would rule. If you could get Jimmy and Lama to wear the hat, that would be extra awesome. You would definitely get a prize for that. Maybe pure awesomeness will get a prize as well. All should aspire to awesome.

I want in on this, although sadly, few dignitaries stop by this neck of the woods.

My 24-7STAR hat isn't getting much love, maybe I should send it on its own epic adventure.

I would predict that caring about one's appearance enough to visit a website like this would be a powerful protective factor against such hygiene ailments.
