Dude...one post in r.a.p and a different one in r.a.o. You shouldn't
hit the beer so hard before posting :-)

From r.a.o:

Attending: Yes

Mode of transport: '71 Arrow

Days: Arrive Sunday, depart following Sunday

Lodging: We don't need no stinking lodging! Give me the N40 and the
unwashed masses any day!

Wednesday party: Um...where else would I be? Besides, I think Jay
appointed me co-something as well. Oh, that's right, Jim points to the
cooler rapidly emptying of beer, I point to the beer store, Paul goes
and gets the beer...that's right. Hmmm, w/o the airplane of minivans,
Paul may need to borrow Jim's vehicle.

Distance: Argh...standby while I fire up the AOPA flight planner. Great
circle route from KLHM-KIOW-KOSH: 1568 nm. Route as planned: 1770 nm.
Actual route: TBD, ask me Wednesday night :-)

From: Sacramento California...well, technically, Orangevale but nobody
knows where that is so I go with Sacramento.

Years attending: Gasp...same as Paul, 5

Working at the event: No...OSH is a vactation, no work involved.

Big floppy hat: Sort of...not like Pauls...depends though, I may hit REI
and get something more along the lines of the Eric Rood model.

Mary sez I'm in for a new hat this year, too. Mine has been sat on
one too many times, apparently...and it needs to hold all my stoopid
pins and doodads from previous fly-ins...

Unfortunately, I haven't seen tilly or their ripoffs competition for a
couple of years. You can still buy them online though-www.tillly.com

Could just be me, but I bought a Tilly when someone told me they were
the best dang hat in the entire world. I measured carefully as directed
by Tilly and ordered my hat. It came and the first time I washed it, it
shrank just like any other hat would shrink.
Under Tilly's guarantee, they sent me another one. Same thing when
washed. It shrank. Both hats are sitting up in the closet unused any
longer. I know I could complain again to Tilly, but for me anyway, two
times was enough.
I don't know, it must be something I'm doing wrong, but for me, the
"Tilly Experience" hasn't been all that good :-)

You have to either wear the hat as it is drying, or get a hat form, adjusted
to the size of your head.

Then, try catching a fly, to see how they land! g

I'll have to check the instructions. I don't remember seeing that; just
that the hat wouldn't shrink when washed. I even called Tilly on their
800 number and they didn't say to wear the hat while it dries. Sounds
like a good plan however, although the thought of wearing a wet hat
isn't up there with getting stranded on an island with Raquel Welch by a
long shot!! :-)

Are you kidding? My hat would fall off :-))

Funny you should say that. I've got an old Tilly-style hat (an old
Oshkosh hat, actually) that I use at the hotel when I mow the lawn.
(3 hours on a riding lawn mower, in Iowa summer sun.)

After 4 summers Mary insisted on washing it. I, of course, hadn't
noticed anything, but she just rolled her eyes and said it was gross
beyond belief.

It shrank, of course, but one good lawn mowing session produced enough
sweat to let it stretch back out.

And I've now got my 16-year-old son mowing the lawn, so no more
troubles!

Don't get my brand (Seattle Sombrero by Outdoor Research). It's made
with Goretex.
