When: the E.T.A. Interdependence Day gala hat-supper, evening of 8 Nov YDAU.
What: In the endnote's random scan of the gala's "whole topography of hats," Gopnik wears the afternoon's carnage literally: "fierce little Josh Gopnik the white beanie with the dirty cart-wheel-track across it from this afternoon’s debacle." The white beanie is Eschaton signal-equipment (Lord had donned it to mark a cessation of hostilities), and the tire-track across it is the mark of Lord's runaway crazy-wheeled food cart — the game's whole collapse compressed into one item of costume headwear.
