Long story how we got that costume, but someone had made two of them for Burning Man 2000 and had worn them there and ran around and yelled at people. I guess he didn't think he'd use one again, so he gave it away. The costume is *awesome*. And of course, it will be at BM for next year.

be interested to hear the story whenever. i can dig long stories.

i also look forward to *STEALING* the costume next year, or at least battling a tusken raider with fox's duel lightsaber. =D

The long story is encapsulated in this post of mine.

The thing is really well made. I hope Fox will take some close up photos of the inside of it so people can see just how cool it is. You can see through the eyes because there's a mesh covering them, and there's some holes for venting and peripheral vision. It's made of a straw hat inside so it's really sturdy and comfortable holding it's shape, etc. I am super super impressed with the quality of work on the costume.

It turns out it was originally made by icarus88. And it will certainly make its way to the playa, and I might just be persuaded to loan it out for a bit to certain Canadian people. ;)
