While everyone seems to be firing up their grills and searing steaks, I’ve been planning an excursion to Super 88. What can I say? I’m craving Asian food like woah. Which might also be why I made this hat. The fabric seemed almost too Asian; but with Boston being a minority majority city, what does [...]

I don’t deal well with public speaking. I’d really rather write the speech and have another person deliver it, take all the credit, and rise to fame/be promoted/be applauded. That’s one reason why I started giving these hats away for free. I figured no one would part with money for these, even if each one [...]

There’s always something to be said for the person who can turn heads when they enter a room, wearing something original and unique, forsaking the redundant look of designer jeans with polo or whatever top will maximize cleavage exposure while hiding that emerging beer gut. Not that this hat wouldn’t go with designer jeans. Just [...]
a southie adventure
August 22nd, 2008 · No Comments · hats
The first time I went to Southie, it was dark, I was late (to a friend’s birthday party), I was carrying around an ice cream cake, and my phone was pretty much dead. I also had no clue where I was going. A few drinks, a slice of ice cream cake, and a visit to [...]

sharks and rays
August 22nd, 2008 · No Comments · hats
I love the New England Aquarium. On a visit there earlier this summer, I found myself with a stupid smile on my face, grinning at the penguins and pointing at the sharks like a [well-mannered] 5 year old. After oogling the jellyfish exhibit, we burst out into the sunshine to hop back on our bikes, [...]

I’ve been eyeing the IRO frames for a while. It’s an understatement to say that the black single-speed/fixed frame is ubiquitous but there’s a reason for it, right? It’s sleek, simple, and looks good under pretty much anyone. It goes with every outfit. It looks professional without all the loud decals and clashing colors. It’s [...]
rolling resistance
August 20th, 2008 · 1 Comment · general stuff
I’m resisting the end of summer. The lazy days, the nights spent out on random rides, the dripping sweat. My list of things to do and places to go isn’t even half done yet. But there will be another long, hot, gorge-yourself-on-all-the-watermelon-you-can-eat Boston summer, and I’ll be pushing out hats through the fall. Hopefully there [...]
for boston, for boston, for thee and thine alone

I think it’s only appropriate that Boston Biker got the first ever Boston s-class hat. Partially because of the handle, partially because without this guy, I wouldn’t have a site host and a really cool custom layout and a person to do my advertising for me at the BFF. So here’s to Boston, Boston cycling [...]

I’m sure those of you who went to the International Bicycle Film Festival kick off party last night and saw Bostonbiker also saw my hat on his head. The picture above is the hat; although of course, you’ll have to drop by the BFF to check out what’s underneath that brim. And if you’re checking [...]

capitalist communist
August 13th, 2008 · No Comments · general stuff
So maybe this whole idea was a bit like communist China. Good in theory but didn’t exactly work out as planned in practice. I think my last two free hats are going out tomorrow…but that doesn’t mean they won’t be available anymore. People have expressed interest in getting a hat but I just can’t seem [...]
