Eklipse Global

Hooray, more priority mail even though Elan Lee tried to put the kibosh on the whole sort of exercise at this year’s ARGFest-o-Con! We survived the inquisition and all we got was this lousy hat!

Actually, the hat is kind of a cool touch. We’ve been admiring your hat for years, after all. Check out our package (we know you can’t help it):

Interestingly, the return address is listed as Seattle, Washington, while the postage label reads College Station, TX, again, which is how our incredible deductive powers told us this was related to the whole Eklipse Global thing from before. The Unfiction denizens have already grabbed onto this one and are currently chewing it to shreds like a pack of rabid hamsters.

The photos have words and or ideograms inscribed on the back (and yes, we’re quite aware how high-falutin’ it is to describe writing in black Sharpie as “inscribed”). The monkey looks like we felt after last weekend.

In addition to the photos was this cool hat! From the numbering on the inside, it appears to be an officer’s cap for a member of the North Vietnamese Army but it has a pin on it with German writing.
