At the DC Sakura Matsuri in 2011, I happened to catch this couple as they danced to the music of a band playing at one of the music bandstands in the plaza of the Reagan building.

In this case, “River Tam” from the TV show “Firefly“, part of the “Big Damn Heroes” series by Quantum Mechanix, purveyors of quality geek paraphernalia…
