Hellow fellow pwebbers. (I haven't posted in a while but here it is)I have always assumed that a hat rack is a rack for hats,but I have recently encountered hatrack as a river in seventh son. I then remembered that Orson's website is also hatrack.com. So my question is; what is the connection of Orson with hatrack?
Im sure some of you on the forums will know the answer right away so I decided to make a post since my googling for an answer was fruitless.
Thanks in advance

You are asking us why he chose the word/name Hatrack for the river in the book and for the name of his website? I don't know. You'd probably be better off asking at the Hatrack forums.

Re: Hello fellow pwebbers. (Wondering about hatrack)
simple, you put a hat on the head of a jockey, and the hats race. Big brims help at the finish line but hurt (extra drag) during prolonged races.
seriously though: OSC did once tell me that it was properly a "hat rack" upon which hats are hung... why there was a river in a book named that, idk...
