The Wristband
On June 25th, 2010 the EMH Twitter feed announced the following: "We're giving away EverymanHYBRID wristbands to the first 100 HYBRIDS to email their shipping address to EMHpromos@gmail.com!". Though the 100 slots very quickly filled, the wristbands were unfortunately never sent out.
The cast provided multiple reasons for the delay over the following weeks; in the Novemeber 26th UStream, they explained that the distributor did not provide them with the merchandise, but at that time, they said that they did intend to distribute the wristbands when they eventually received them.
Jeff's Letter
Since then, the cast was seen wearing purple wristbands in three videos: first in "The Update HUB", where all three of them can be seen wearing them, and again in "December & early January" where Vince can be seen wearing one in the final segment of the video. Steph is wearing one in The Hidden Videos.
The cast have not publicly addressed why the wristbands were never distributed.
On March 16th, 2011, stormoftara, the second winner in the "Self Defense" promotion contest, announced on the SomethingAwful forums that she had received a wristband, as well as a letter from Jeff, as an apology for her missing prize from that contest. To date, she is the only fan to have received a wristband.
Notes[]
- The people who have received letters via mail (the Corenthal Christmas Letter and the Corenthal letter dated 10-27-1981) were among those who requested wristbands.
- The purple color of the wristbands seen in the videos is reminiscent of the purple tape.
