What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[DJH]

Back in Philly for a father - daughter lunch tomorrow at Drexel. The hat I brought along is my Dark Moss ArtLite. I love these lightweight felts.

Great shot, Alan. You could really work modeling westerns for magazines. It looks superb on you!

Thanks Ale. Funny thought... when my dad was in his sixties he took up modeling for a bit. Retirement suited him better.

Looking good, Perry!

+1... BJ and David too. Impressive mural!

I didn't know where to place this. This is definitely country, and most definitely not fedoras. I spent this morning at a rodeo.

I love those hats! They are just beautiful. I don't think I have ever said that about a hat before

 

[BR Gordon]

Al, thank for your nice comments. Those brims can be up to 4 3/4" wide and remain flat.

Mike, thank you. I agree, the huaso's hat is beautiful, particularly the straw hats.

How To $ucceed In Business Without Really Trying

Two weeks from the day the curtain fell on the last show of Ryan's school production of 'How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying ', the songs are still swirling around in my head. I am fervently working on sorting through the several thousand images I took as well as the video which Lydia shot in producing a multi-media DVD for all of the kids in the cast and crew to hopefully enjoy as a document of their hard work and wonderful experience.

I thought I would share some photos compiled from the week of technical and dress rehearsals, as well as the four shows. The photographs of the show were all taken during the family preview night, and not the actual performances. My thanks to all of the kids and their brilliant and tireless teachers, as well as the wonderful families, who collectively made this an unforgettable few weeks for me and my family.

Lydia and her sister Vivian, who flew in from the East Coast to see Ryan, helped with ticket sales at the door.







Pre-sold tickets highlighted in blue. Could not remember the last time I saw an over-head!

Sharp yesterday guys. That white hat has an especially 30's look to it, BJ. Very nice with the suit.
And Alan, you are a dapper cowboy.

Super photos, I feel as if I were there! Looks like a great production.
