Whenever I leave the house in anything less than a turtleneck and long pants, my parents tell me that I am going to attract the wrong kind of attention and request that I change immediately. Yesterday at the Home Depot, I decided to try a little experiment to see what kind of attention, if any, I would draw dressed a little differently than usual.

I put on, in Connecticut, the Pittsburgh Steelers hard hat. Not only did I draw a bit of attention, many more people stopped to talk to me. While this may not exactly be the way that I should draw a crowd to our table, it certainly worked. Not only was it a great way to bring people closer, it also allowed me to speak more about the company and the tour, where we started, the different products we carry, etc.

Another great thing, if any New England Patriots fans were to come after me while in my Steelers garb, my head certainly would have been protected.
