Sisco and I get caught deficit-spending
Gerry Hemingway gloats as we dip into household funds to feed our habits.

Cool hat. I've sometimes thought about wearing a hat of some sort, but I'd feel too self-concious about it.
I'd always imagined Root Doctor as being, well, bald (aah, the power of avatars).
Who's the guy in the red bandana?

mke, I think this answered your question before you even asked it.

I think you have to be of a certain age and with a certain amount of hip to pull off wearing the porkpie. Too young and you end up looking like those annoying rat pack-obsessed twentysomethings. Too unhip and you just look like an old timer.

Right. I thought Sisco meant the possibly red-headed guy in the brown leather coat right at the front of the picture. I took "red on the head" to be some kind of Vermont way of saying "red-head."

I'm definitely in the unhip camp, myself. In fact, I think I pull off the sartorial stance best known as "hopelessly square" most effectively.

A porkpie???
Yee-ah.
I think you've jammed me up for the last time, Gary.
Here's to having absolutely NO room to complain.

I love hats of many types. In fact, I've acquired two new baseball caps (one of the many types) in the past week, including a very cool fly fishing freebie today.
Porkpies are cool with me, especially if the wearer looks like it belongs on his head. Hat wearers are usually hip to that dynamic. Nice lid, Gary.

The porkpie is ancient jazz tradition, Goods. And that one's famous, er, infamous, in certain circles. The porkpie is the lid of lids, but, like Sergio says, it will separate the wheat from the chaff. Save your shot for when you have some ammunition.
Ellery wears a cool one, too. But the hippest one I've seen in years, Aab Baars was wearing when ICP played Burlington last year. Cat was dressed.
Christmas -- You and Roots met when you came to NYC for Vision. At Manitoba's for an afternoon several pints, as I recall.

I believe Derek was there that afternoon also. And "Mingus," as well.

Sisco,
When you take the hat off at the end of a long day, do you say, "Goodbye" to it?
Obliterating any notion of subtlety with his references,

Wait, who was "Mingus"? Normally I'm better at remembering this kind of stuff. Was he at the restaurant Pete took us to?

For some reason I didn't expect Gary to be bearded. I do like the porkpie though. Like MKE, I"m looking for the titfer that will suit me.

Christmas -- "mingus" is Roots' bro-in-law, Neal, and, yes, he was at the dinner that night.
Alastair -- I've had a beard since I was 19, with the exception of my time in Central America in the 80s. It's much longer in that picture than normal, though, because of its being such a long and cold winter, making too much work for finding time to go see my girl for a cut and trim. Still haven't, actually. Longer now than it's been in many years. It began way back because having to shave every day is a major pain in the ass, IMHO.

A HO I fully agree with.
Hey, Wilkinson has taken the lead in the shaving arms-race by beating Gillette to the first 4-blade razor. I can't wait for the first 5-blader! (I use a Mach 3 myself)

Yah, Mach 3 here as well. Maybe every 5 days or so. I hate shaving every day, but I look stupid with a beard (and I mean maximum dork factor, believe me), and Mrs. Tanager won't allow it. She's not wild about the every 4 to 5 day shaving schedule, but it's a compromise.

Greetings, Joe. Any chance you'll make Vision this year?
To combine this thread with the one about preaching the music gospel, I'm a lucky man to have a brother-in-law who shares many of my musical interests, and even luckier that I have someone like Sisco, who's less than a mile away from where I live, to hang with a few times a week for beer-drinking, disc-spinning shenanigans.
And yes, I'm bald. Have been since I was about 22.

RD, I've been reading your posts for quite a while now and had no idea you were you. Wacky! An NYC trip isn't out of the question but isn't looking too good right now. The Navy's a busy place these days. I'll certainly keep you guys posted. With that lineup I'd really love to get out there again, and of course to hang with all ya'll again. Olewnick keeps bothering me about introducing my beagle to his puffy white dog, anyway, and that's not code for anything. Truly weird, if you ask me.
