Orange Hunter's Cap

You heard it here first, folks!
Over Thanksgiving, when I was walking around Tamarack Lake with my pup I found that my head was a little chilly. So I borrowed my father's florescent orange hunter's cap for my future walks over the holiday.
When I got back to Brooklyn, I had found the hat was tucked into my pocket! I felt guilty that I had accidentally pilfered my Dad's cap, but while I had it, why not make the best of it?!
So, I started wearing it. Wearing it EVERYWHERE. It seemed so out of place in Brooklyn, with it's worn hunter cap yarn softly spinning off and the deer hunting patch barely hanging off the edge. The more I wore it, the more I realized that no one had a hat like mine! I was sporting a one-of-a-kind!!! At least in these parts.
It hit me! I could start a trend! I could single-handedly bring the hunter cap to Brooklyn and beyond!
Could a country girl in the city really bring a trend about?
Well, I not only wear the hat every day, I also TALK about the hat alot. ALOT.
So far, I have told ALL of my friends and family. It goes something like this "Have you heard about the new hunter cap trend? It's all the rage in Brooklyn."
While at a Christmas cocktail party I happened to find myself talking to a man that worked for GQ magazine. I gave him my standard pitch, plus "Yes! IT's TRUE! You know how it used to be all about camoflage and blending in? Now it's flipped, man! IT's about standing OUT, being seen! Yeah, the hunter cap!! IT's HOT!!"
I estimate that I have told at least 100 people about the hat directly, and who can count the number of sightings?!?
Just the other day I saw a student at the high school across the street entering school in a brand NEW hunter cap orange hat! Coincedence? I think NOT!
So I thought I would also get all my 7 blog readers up on the latest! Start this trend in YOUR area.
I will also be bringing the hunter cap to SUNDANCE!! I promise to wear the cap out and talk about it with the Hollywood elite.
There are also levels of trend adoption for which I will describe in fuller detail at a later time.
For now, sport the orange hunter cap with pride, people.
It's IN.
You heard it here first!

Off to Sundance!

Well, it's Sundance-eve and we're all ready to head out to Park City, Utah!
While the Cool Beans won't be in the festival, Walsh Family Media will be on the scene.
We're going to check out the Animated Shorts, meet with a few folks and also try to meeet up with some brands!
We've been hard at work on our own short, our music video and our t-shirt line.
Our first digital press kit was completed an hour ago and we're ready to hit Main Street running with our Macbook pro showing everyone the stuff we've got kickin' out of Brooklyn.

So, that's our plan for now. Meet with people, talk about the project and try to get some interest in The Cool Beans.
We'll let you know how it goes!!
