Did anybody find my hat?

I left my hat in the hotel restaurant after breakfast Sunday. When I went back for it, it was gone. I asked the wait staff, the front desk, the Paizo table, and some other diners at the restaurant about it, but nobody had seen it. Somebody must have picked it up.

The hat in question is a brown wool newsboy-style hat with a cross-striped pattern and a snap on the brim. Inside is the manufacturer's label that reads "Barbour."

I have had this hat for 17 years - half of my life. I can't imagine that anybody else would want to wear it since it's been on my head. It is of no particular value, but I have a strong sentimental attachment to it. If any of my fellow Paizo fans have found it, I'm prepared to offer a reward for its return.

Please help me get my hat back!

I kept a note about your hat being missing for the whole con Charlie, never had anyone drop it off. :( Sorry, I hope you find it!

I blame zylphryx (aka Dain). He stole my hat during the Grand Convocation last year as tribute to the Taldor table who wanted to strike a blow against Princess Muhlia of Qadira. He later returned it, though. So, if he did take it...I'm sure he'll bring it back.

In all seriousness, though...I feel bad for you. You seemed a bit distraught about it at the game on Sunday. Thanks again for running Master of the Fallen Fortress. It was the only game I managed to play in as a player at PaizoCon this year. And it was a lot of fun. A confirmed crit with an alchemist's bomb in the final encounter is always a good time! ;-)

Damn, Charlie! You and that hat worked well together. I hope it turns up.

I've lost a couple of my lost favorite articles of clothing when traveling. I lost my favorite stretched-to-fit-my-dreads stocking cap/dookie/toboggan/insert-regional-name-for-a-knit-wool-hat-here when I was in Chicago and my Powell Peralta Bones Brigade hoodie on a train in Paris. In your case, you have a damn fine chance of reuniting with your hat with these boards. Best of luck to you, man!

I will ... I mean I would, yeah, that's it. Seriously though, I hope it shows up. And I still owe you a beer Neil.

I defer all beer offers to the world-class brewer, Zuxius. I'm a tee-totaler, unfortunately. However, change that beer to a soda or a milkshake and I'm so there!

Good news, Charlie!

I just got off the phone with an anonymous Paizo fan (I'll leave it to him to self-identify on the boards if he wishes).

Your hat has been found! I will be emailing you the relevant details shortly.

Happy day!


Hooray! I've been following this intensely and love happy endings.

+1 to that.

Very cool!

It was zylphryx, right? ;-D

But seriously, this is proof yet again Paizo has one of the best fan communities in the known universe.

Charlie, congrats on the return of your hat! (and no, it was not me who found it Neil ;) )

Gratz, Charlie! Hopefully you won't have to wait too long to get it back, now :)

+17!!! That's +1 for every year I've had my beloved signature hat!

Whoever it was that tracked it down, thanks so much--you're awesome, and you've made my day!


Glad to hear you will get your hat back Charlie! I for one am happy about that...I was beginning to wonder if the Sunday gaming group would feel the wrath of the missing hat since after all you are our GM. Seriously gratz on getting it back & I can't wait to hear all of the PaizoCon Details.

You are welcome bud. I have a hat I wear that I bought in 1994-1995ish. I felt your pain. :)

Did not do much. Just made a call and left a voicemail with a manager who said yesterday that he did not know of any hat, but when he called today he had it. WOOT.

Glad to help.

On a side note, someone left a pair of pants in one of the gaming rooms on Sunday night. Thought it was kinda odd...

From what I heard it was a really tough game though!


Since I'm a bit obsessive with my own hats (though they rarely last long), I've been watching this thread. Congrats! And Kadab gets a cookie.

Back off. These are mine. :P


On the subject of things lost at the con, I don't suppose anyone found my tankard? Think I may have left it down at the Music Mix thing on Saturday.
