>I love Raiders of the Lost Ark. It’s my favorite movie EVER. I think Indiana Jones is just about the coolest hero that was ever invented. Yesterday my husband, a friend, and I went to the Indygear summit at Fort MacArthur in San Pedro, accompanied by wandering about the Queen Mary at night. It really was a blast and quite in the spirit of things the wonderful organizers prepared a “treasure hunt” of sorts for us. We wandered all over the fort- over hills, in the museum, down in the underground tunnels- in search of “stolen” archaeological artifacts. They were eventually rescued from down in the earth by the two teams respectively, and brought out in Raiders-esque crates filled with straw and “artifacts”- some of which were hand painted Aztec style illustrations by one of the members who is a real museum curator. I didn’t take many pictures, but here’s just a couple from our adventures yesterday. I’m hoping I can snag a little better one of my outfit later on. I wore the “adventure” shirt I posted about previously with a black wool skirt I made last year and a great late 30s vintage jacket I got from Flannery Crane on Etsy. The vintage fox stole was added once we boarded the ship.
