Order of the Fez

Atomic Fez for Life!

The boys at Fez-o-rama have strapped on their dance shoes to help raise funds for The 24 Hour Cancer Danceathon, an event to raise funds for the City of Hope for cancer treatments and research.

Toward that end, the Fezmonger has designed a special edition Atomic Fez and I placed my order today. You know I'll post a photo here when my comes off the line.

PS: Jason's (The Fezmonger) involvement in this project has delayed his custom fez design for our Order. He says he'll be in a position to fill orders soon.

Fez design from Fez-o-rama

Fezmonger Jason reports he's been up to his...fez in work (covering the heads of UK ukulele combos no doubt) but hasn't forgotten us here at the OOTF.

He asked for my opinion of this design and I told him I loved it. If I had a fez like that, it's all I'd wear around the house.

You can get a better sense of what it will look like from this earlier post. Feel free to weigh in via comments.

What is it with ukuleles and fezzes?

Ukulele Dave pings us from Hastings, England:

"Glad to have come across fellow fezheads. The Bohemia Ukulele Band boast a number of fez wearers. In fact our music is a celebration of the fez."

From the BUB MySpace page:

"Shadowy Bohemian Ukulele syndicate conspire to inflict mind expanding psychediddly four string disharmony on the proud people of Hastings. Available at a moments notice to provide the most charming and unique entertainment at Weddings, Divorces and Civil Ceremonies, Christenings, Namings, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, Shop and Exhibition Openings, Street Parties, Carnivals, Festivals and Fetes."

Not sure if it'll still be there when you stop by, but the MySpace page featured a rousing version of Keep On the Sunnyside. It's a long way from June Carter Cash.

Fezaudacity

Phil (Fez #9) directs your attention to the new album jacket of the multi-talented, and one time Cheap Suit Serenader, Bob Brozman.



"Not only does he play every instrument on the cover, but each of his fellow Brozman clones is wearing a different fez on his noggin. I think he should be made an honorary member, just for the sheer audaciousness of it. Oh, and it's a great album too!"
