> No Shi... There I was at this event when I saw it.  A man wearing the

> friendly so even though I'm terribly shy, I decided to ask him if he

> friendly, but he was more than willing to tell me all about it and WHY
> it looked so good.  First of all he said that he didn't make it, he
> told me that it was made by a Lady named Robin Netherton and
> encouraged me to look closely, especially at some of the details.
> This wasn't constructed like anything I had seen before and I said so.
