Do not worry, you did not offend me at all. Even geoffkait and millercarbon have not been able to get through, and they are professionals at it.
I usually ask if they offer gin-tonic and then ask for that without gin. For some reason, ordering tonic only gets confusing to bartenders while this way they pick it quickly. Same will go for the fourth round at Axpona. Everybody is invited. I may even bring my Bluetooth speaker so there is some audio equipment involved.
As far as hats go, no need for Hat ID technology at Axpona. If man wears a hat inside, an etiquette book is in order.
That Talk but not walk thread was really an exercise in diversity, bickering, and wild fantasies. This is just a little friendly chat.
