"Jester Hat, Then and Now"
Well, this picture worked better as a concept than in practice. My friend from my BU London days, whose name is also Matt, is visiting from Boston this weekend. Over drinks with my Matt, we were reminiscing about the London days, and Matt mentioned that I used to wear a jester hat, with bells on the end, that annoyed the crap out of him. I told him that I still have the hat, and in fact I have it with me in Aberdeen. When we got home, I brought it out of the closet, and everyone tried it on. Matt looked through some of my old facebook photos, to find the ones from the London days. There was one of him wearing the hat with a less-than-pleased look on his face. I knew I hadn't PADed yet that day, and thought that a great idea for a PAD would be him wearing the hat, holding his iPad with the photo of him wearing it 17 years ago. Well, iPad screens don't photograph very well, but you can still see the outline of the hat, if not his face, on the screen.
