This is the Wikipedia user page for Davemc500hats aka Dave McClure, Master of 500 Hats.
[edit] Links & info about me
- my website: 500hats.com
- my bio: About Dave McClure
- my blog: Master of 500 Hats
(note: someday soon i'll probably convert the rest of my website over to my blog or vice versa, but for now they're still separate)
for clarification: i share the same middle initial 'P' with this other Dave McClure on the east coast, but he and i are not the same person. nor am i the Dave McClure who plays on the Duke Blue Devils basketball team. there are also several other Dave McClures in the SF bay area (at least one of whom i've met), however i believe i'm the only one with a 'P' for a middle initial (but i could be wrong). i occasionally answer to the name Troy McClure, however that's just because i'm a Simpsons fan. btw, the actor Troy is modeled after on the Simpsons is Doug McClure, but he's dead. please don't confuse me with him either ;)
