We decided to do the Atlanta nerdy tourist thing this weekend and go to the DragonCon parade in the morning and to the Decatur Book Festival this afternoon. The parade was amazing, and this was my favorite costume. It’s a Living Jayne Cobb hat, from an obscure episode of Firefly, a Joss Wedon series from a few years back that spawned a film, but not the trilogy that fans are desperate for.
I have knit three of these hats myself, but to actually *be* the hat is genius. Or masochism. It was really hot today.
I’ll just post a few pix here. For more, see teeveeolantern on Flickr.
Note the Ear Flaps that she’s holding up – then look at the guy in the upper left corner who’s sporting his own Jayne Cobb Hat. Look for them in the photos below. There are bunches.
