SLUSHO! hat question
I was a filmmaking teacher when the Cloverfield viral marketing campaign was in full swing and my students and I went deep down any and all rabbit holes we could find. I even offered extra credit to any of them who shot and submitted a video for the Slusho.jp commercial contest. None of my students took me up on it, but I made one and ended up being one of the five grand prize winners! I won a Slusho themed Alienware laptop. That was so much fun! By the way, some of the paperwork that came with the laptop listed Paramount on it so at that point we had a solid connection between the ARG and Paramount/Bad Robot.
My question is: did anyone here buy merch through the Slusho.jp website? I bought some shirts and a hat. I ended up selling the hat later on ebay. Cut to a couple weeks ago and I found another Slusho hat at a thrift store here in LA and when I did research to verify it the only other pics I came across were the ones I posted to ebay four years earlier, haha! The one I just got is a match, which is awesome, so I went ahead and listed it on ebay. But does anyone know if the Slusho.jp hats are the same brand as the Comic-Con hats? And where else were they made available? I'm really curious now because I couldn't find pics of other hats online.
