This is my friend Mike Horvath, a designer I work with at the Museum, dressed as Chewie, throwing at the first ball at last nights Red Sox Game.

Monday night his daughter gets born, Wednesday night he's chewbacca at a sox game. This guy is living large.

Yeah, a friend of mine who went to the game told me about this today. He said it was a promotional thing for the museum. It's even better seeing it here. Where do you work in the museum? A buddy of mine was working there as a security guard before he shipped off to college a few months ago.

I work in the exhibits department and I also write for the Museum freelance. Was your friend in security here long, or was it a short term thang?

Dupes · #7

It was short term. He actually wasn't even planning on getting the job. For extra credit in our senior year English class, he wrote a resume for his final project and submitted it to the Museum. They called him back for a job interview and he got the job. He liked working in the city and thought it was a fairly simple job, so he decided to work there until he finally went to Hesser.

It was sad, they would have won if they hadn't made the guy try to steal 2nd. He wasn't even close.

I hear Wookies have a killer splitter. The Sox could use Chewie big time. Their relievers have been ailing.

Actually, the costume looks WAY better in the action shots than it does in real life. The mouth doesn't move at all, it's just a latex casting, and the bag, utility belt etc are all latex. Don't get me wrong, it's way higher quality than your average store bought wookie suit, but it's still a significant step bellow the actual costume. Which, by the way, will be here at the Museum.
