History:
The cool hat club was founded in the fall of 2000.
Stephen McKenzie and David Tankersley were forming a friendship that would lead to their becoming roommates. Among other factors that helped to facilitate that friendship was the fact that they both owned and wore fedoras. They took to greeting each other as "My cool hatted brother." They decided they needed to form a club, the Cool Hat Club. They immedietly added Dr. Wallace Roark and Dr. Robert Mangrum, who both own and wear fedoras. While the good doctors did not know of their membership at the time, they did not protest at their inclusion in the club. However, it is unlikely that they remember that they are members.
Stephen and David then became roommates, and the greeting became tedious. While it has fallen into disuse, it is still the official greeting. Alathia Paris was a member at one time, but was expelled for the owning of an atrocious straw hat that had been spray painted gold. In and of itself, this was not a problem, but she admitted to wearing the thing on more than one occasion.

Rules for Admission:
1. A prospect must own at least one cool hat and wear it regularly, weather permitting.
2. A cool hat is not a baseball cap, a cheap cowboy hat, or a visor.
3. Uncool hats are not limited to those mentioned in rule number two.
4. Upon evidence of regular wearing of a cool hat, the founders will decide whether or not to include an applicant to the cool hat club. The decision must be unanimous.
5. Upon evidence of possession of an atrocious hat worn regularly, membership may be revoked by the founders.

To apply for membership, send an email to both
Stephen and Tank.
