Wore hiking shorts, bright yellow hiking shirt, and a straw hat to a sf convention this weekend. Had Neopixel LEDs inside goggles on the brim of the hat. Told people I was a Martian explorer just in from a long distance hike. Unfortunately, since most the gamers there consider the walk from the car to the inside of the convention center to be 'a long walk' they mostly didn't get it.
48F cool from the wind in the mornings, about 68F in the afternoon.
No photos of me. I'll see what I can do to post pictures of some of the costumes I saw.
Here is a little ditty I made up to go with the costume.
'I'm Jim the Martian explorer !
I'm not always a snorer,
I cannot find my space suit,
it is quite invisible you see !
it could be in orbit,
or hanging off my left knee !
hurray hurray hurray hurray !'
Sort of based on a song 'Captain Spaulding the African explorer' that Groucho Marx sang in one of the Marx Bros movies. I think it was in 'Duck Soup'. Well, I hope it was funny... some of the people I sang it to had rather pained looks on their faces.
