ooooohhhhh.....aaaaaahhhhh.....*drooools*....

those look pretty sweet - any chance of a trucker hat so I can keep up with the fads - a la Aston Kutcher?   *quickly ducks head to avoid hurled keyboards*

heh j/k of course.  Can't wait to get mine - in time for the Superauctions, too!  :D

I can do a second run if 10 or more people are interested. If you'd be interested in placing an order, contact mitch@swietlik.com.  Hat colors and styles can be viewed here:

Hats are run at cost which is $12.50 + $1.50 shipping (anywhere in the US or Canada).

Is it just me or.....

anyone that isn't on this board, that doesn't build or work in the amusement industry will just think you're some kind of wierdo for having a hat with a lollipop on it.

A FRIGGIN' LOLLIPOP!

Yeah, i'm hoping we settle the t-shirt debate soon.  On a side note, i hope my hat comes tomorrow.  Also many thanks Pixelhugger for putting this together.  Those pics look great, can't wait to have mine in my hands.

The t-shirt thing has been going since what, March?  How long did it take Mitch to get these hats going, less than 2 months, pretty darn quick.....

For those that want something else besides a hat, maybe take it upon yourself to do it?  As for those who don't like the hat design, it's a good thing ya didn't order one eh?   ;)

Glad to see some people got them early (after such a long wait!) Hopefully the rest will arrive tomorrow  :)

It's unfortunate the design is lost on some people, though that's inevitable and it's the nature of any design or artwork.  That may be at least partly why the t-shirts haven't been finalized...and why once they are, certain people won't order the final design who'd have ordered one of the alternates.

It's great to get positive feedback (thanks Cave, Frosty, hyiu, Sasquatch, Homebrew, Lilwolf and Nailz!) and not so great to get negative input, but it's just the nature of design...

As Rampy has put it so well before...*shrug*

I missed it the first time  :-[ I sent my email asking for one so all I need is 9 other people to get off their duffs and order a hat. Come on you know you want one!

Title: Re:Image of finished BYOAC HATS
Post by: hyiu on September 26, 2003, 10:04:08 am

Those look great, Pixelhugger!  Hopefully mine will get here today.  I'm psyched!  (Yes, I said "psyched"!)   ;D

Wow!  No sooner do I type that and I receive my hat!  It looks great.  Thanks again, Mitch!

Just got mine, looks great.  The yellow stitching has more a gold hue to it, but still looks great.  Thanx again Pixelhugger.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!! That puts strange images in my head. I shouldn't mention them here.  :-X

Sorry PIXELHUGGER. Just being honest. I think it's becuase you can't see anything else, like the rest of the joystick or any buttons. Looks like a lollipop to me.

There's no way I am going to wear a hat with a lollipop on it. A grown man walking around with a lollipop on his hat? Might look like some kind of perv or molester.

"Hey kids, look at my shiny new hat! Do you like lollipops?"

  :-[

PS- I'm honestly not trying to rain on anyones parade...it's cool you guys made hats.

Got mine - looks great!

It was funny, my girlfiend looks at it and goes, "What is that? a joystick?"

I said "yep".

a few minutes later she goes, "I guess you could look at it as a lollipop."

I thought that that was pretty funny! The heat looks mint! Thanks again!
