Desperately Seeking Cunning Hat...

So I'm going to a Serenity premiere that a friend has arranged with a local theater. I'm sure we'll camp out hours before the show starts at midnight, just to entertain ourselves with witty lines from Firefly. Yeah, I'm a geek. So sue me.

Since the votes for what costume I should wear are leaning towards "mercenary" I've decided that I need a cunning hat like Jayne Cobb.

I've found a local knitter who will hopefully be able to get me this awesome fashion statement in time. My Blue Sun shirt is on the way, and I've even visited the dollar store for a fine plastic machine gun. Yes, I will name her VERA. But I will not try and trade her for some prairie harpy.

I don't think I'll be shaving my head for effect, though. Or growing a goatee. But I will learn some Mandarin Chinese...
