Beer and Jayne – a natural fit!

So for some reason, the Jayne hat became very popular over at http://www.thebrewingnetwork.com/ . Apparently it’s all the rage to give your icon a Jayne hat. My husband brews beer and is an avid member of the forum, so when a member of the Brewing Network flew in from Australia for a big beer event, he asked if I’d make one and ship it to the guy here in the states.

Well, the hat got passed around all night to everyone at the event, and poor Oz (original name for an Aussie, eh?) didn’t get it back. It’s apparently now the Official Homebrew Network Jayne Hat, and they’re comparing it to the Stanley Cup – one of a kind, held in high esteem, and very special. The powers that be are holding a contest, and the person who shows up at the next event and has the best idea of where to take the hat and photograph it will be awarded the hat. Then they’ll pass it along to the next person with a good idea, and so on. They hope it will travel around the world.

I find this interesting because many of these people have never even seen Firefly – it’s just “a Lufah hat” after the first guy to post a pic of himself in one. Yet somehow, the magic of Jayne’s unbelievable hat has taken hold of another fringe group of lunatics. I’ll be very interested to see the pics of the places that it goes.

    Last Night

    I’m so sorry about last night. I hadn’t talked to my friend in ages and she dropped a huge bombshell on me about my ex-boyfriend. I had to hear the whole sordid story and it took a while.

    But I will be there tomorrow night! I will!

    Yikes! Hopefully it was the “your ex-boyfriend was hit in the head by a falling piano” variety of bombshell.

    I kid you last night, but if you can’t make it, I’ll of course completely understand. My husband *should* be able to come with me, but I’ll save you a seat. I think they’ve sold about 50-60 tickets so far so that shouldn’t be a big issue.

    Besides – I’m donating a Jayne hat as a door prize, and I know you want an opportunity to win your very own!

    Barring any last minute opportunity to get laid (I joke – sorta) I should be there without a problem. I didn’t see anything in the paper about it today though, and it’s not listed on the Park Road Terrace theater listings. Either way, I’ll be there shortly after 7.

    And it was more of a “sweet, sweet karma” type bombshell.
