Well, that happened.

Thankee for all your encouragement about the hat to go with the costume; I did end up picking up a hat from some Halloween store on my way home from work. It was too tall (Abe Lincoln, anyone?), so I hacked it apart, cut it down, and put it back together, and it looked a lot better.

Too bad I didn't end up wearing it anyway.
