    When you're not dressed vintage...

    Today is like every day. Old slacks, work boots, and a T-Shirt with some retrocentric design or saying. I'm also ALWAYS wearing one of my fedoras.

    A heartfelt thank you to my family on The Fedora Lounge

    DJ posted about this on The Electric Speakeasy and I have to admit that I was shocked. Well, Jack, We miss you over on The Chronicles Electric Speakeasy and hope you recover quickly and let me know if there's anything we can do for you.

    Building Lasting Tributes To Our WWII Relatives

    Over the past few months I've been working with some FC Staffers to build lasting tributes to our relitives who served in World War II. We're going to keep the momentum going by asking you all if there's someone you want to memorialize... Here are three we've done so far. I Will Remember...

    Why certain cities.

    This just struck me, how many Vintage/Classic movies take place in San Fran? Which reminds me, I'm over-due on my Maltese Falcon review.

    Hello all you wonderful people out there in the dark!

    I should say Bogart, but I identify more with the characters William Powell played.

    Why certain cities.

    Boston is older then almost any other city in the country, but it doesn't have much of a Vintage Scene that I know of. (If I'm wrong, let me know...) On the East Coast, I see folks like us on rare occasion. There's something oppressive and Anti-Retro in some spots. There are theaters that...

    Get Over It

    I can offer up proof that he sent it to me to host before anyone else, and that he came up with those ideas before anyone else. If he wanted to take those publishers to task, he would be more then welcome to ask me for his help. By the way, Jack... folks have been asking about you. How have...

    "Take your hats off, you are indoors".

    I'll throw down on this because I'm a fan of The Apperntice and I was a bit taken back by that scene. I go by this rule... if the employees are wearing hats, I keep my fedora on. If I'm in a public place of transit such as a train station, bus station or Air port then I leave my fedora on...

    "Rugged" Fedora Dilemma:

    Thing is, with your criteria the only item that I can think of is The Akubra Federation. They hold up very well with harsh weather. I have one that I've owned since 2002 and the shape is pretty much the same.

    What's your website?

    The Fedora Chronicles Started out as a news site and an on-line publication for vintage aficionados but has grown into something more... I'm currently working on a huge project for the site, essentially a new site with in the old. Something I think there's a great need for but hasn't been...

    Where are the women?

    Unless you're a phenominal actress and you're able to haul in huge box office numbers, your career ends when you're in your mid-thirties if you're a woman. If your a man, your career doen't really take off until your late 30's.

    Current Events with A Retro Theme Show

    Past few weeks I've been hammering away at my own "pod cast" (No Body Snatchers were hurt or harmed in the production of this audio program...) called "The Fedora Chronicles Radio Show." It's a work in progress, I've invested in some equipment to make it top of the line. Hope you like it... Let...

    Our Knowledge of America

    Somewhere I read a factoid that 60% of High School Students didn't knew who the Allies fought in World War II, who were the Axis Powers were in Europe and who we fought against in the Pacific Theater during the same war... Be afraid... be VERY afraid.

    Autumn seems to be owned by The Retro-Centrics... I'll own this when it comes to DVD I think.

    Project Runway

    I did a weekly Breakdown of last season's Apprentice... ... Which got a lot of attention and people really enjoyed it. Some of those people have asked me why don't I do the same for other shows. I tried to do one for "Treasure Hunters..." but the oxygen just got sucked out of the room...

    A teeny thing 'counter-vintage' about you?

    Counter Retro? I'm a huge fan of DirectTV because it's easier to stay on top of all things Retro thanks to XM raido, History/Discovery/Nat-Geo channels. But, alas... I admit to being a diehard Moody Blues fan and I have some disco CD's. Funny, I'm also trying to collect stuff from the...

    PC vs Mac - Apple looks very attractive right now!!

    When I first started rendering, I was using standard DOS machines to run programs like Auto-CAD and CAD-Key. When I moved on to other graphics programs like Ray Dream Studio, Bryce and Adobe PhotoShop, I was using my Win89 machine. I used that Win98 machine until a year ago. I used it for...

    Decline of the Hat

    I’ve said these things before, but they’re worth saying again… Around here, I was the only guy driving around in a VW New Beatle and wearing a fedora. Now, everyday I see someone else wearing a wide brim and tall crown fedora driving in some other retro-esque vehicle. I’ve also seen...
