I once again own The Coolest Hat In New York City
posted in blog on Mon 3/31/2008
Remember a few years ago when I lost my favorite hat on the subway? Only three months after I moved to New York? And how horrible that was?
I have had a gaping hole in my heart ever since that tragic accident... UNTIL TODAY.
About a month ago, the official starwars.com blog posted this article about an R2-D2 knitted cap that someone had designed. I forwarded the link to Aaron, in an email titled "If your sister makes me this hat I will MARRY her."
See, Katie Renier has been known to make some pretty amazing hats in her day. So I knew if there was any chance of someone being able to make this, she was the one!
Well, the hat arrived today, as a TOTAL surprise, and it fits PERFECTLY and I TOTALLY LOVE IT. And also, I guess I'm now engaged? Ha ha! Whoops! :P
You can check it out in better detail in my Flickr account. Thanks Katie!!!
Also, I do hereby solemnly swear that I will never take this hat off on any subway, not even if I am drawing people and the prettiest girl in the universe sits across from me. She can just sit there! I'm not losing this hat no way. I will be BURRIED in this hat!

[Translation: That hat is amazing!]
That's the coolest toque I've ever seen.
I'm so glad that you now have not only a hat, but a hat story to replace the sad sad story of the previous hat.
NICE HAT! I was going to ask you if you were going to watch the Star Wars Marathon on Spike this weekend. Then I was like, Alec doesn't really watch TV. And THEN I was like, Alec has all the DVDs. Next time we get together, your R2D2 hat and my meatwad hat can get together and be innocent but spunky.
