Hay-Sung interview. November 16, 2000. So Hay-sung... when did you first start wearing the big hats?
		About six months ago.
Ok. Um...what gave you the idea?
		I don't know.
Ok. So how do you feel about all other big hats around. You seem to have started something of a craze.
		Yeah.

So how do you feel about that?

And what gave you the idea?
		I don't know. Probably had to do with you.

I mean when there's a giant bunny or a talking hammer or whatever in the seat next to you it kind of takes the thrill out of a daring pair of earrings. You're not gonna make a lot of jaws drop with an outlandish shade of nail polish.
So with me and my ilk around, the big hats are a way to compete for attention?
		Yeah well that's one thing. Or one way of looking at it. But also it's just fun. I mean fabrics are fun. Clothes are fun but they're hard to make so they fit right. Well hats are hard too if you make 'em good but we don't care about that. We just throw 'em together and if they last a week that's cool. So there's the attention, sure, but also it's like having you guys around just sort of...changes things. I mean it's fun so why not. Why not put a bunch of junk on your head. Yeah, it's ridiculous, but the teacher's assistant is a forklift, so...
