Well, if they do remember us for how we dress it likely means we have done
something very right, or more likely something very wrong.

I was in New Orleans in 1988 for a Science Fiction convention, and I still
remember some of the people because of how they dressed. There was one woman
who I saw on the streets of New Orleans (she was attending the convention),
and she was wearing a chain mail bikini with nothing behind the chain mail
(for those of you who don't what chain mail is, it is an early type of
armour, made from lots of tiny interlocking metal rings, how anyone could
wear that over some of the most sensitive parts of the body without any
protection I don't know...). The other folks I remember from New Orleans
were a group of about a dozen big husky guys (looked like they could have
been truck drivers) all wearing pink tutus...

If we let our leader Drew Sulivan decide dress code I assume it would
involve black leather, handcuffs, and whips...

So, the question is can we do this right, distinctive, positive, etc.. Or do
we just say "dress casual", i.e. polo/golf shirt...
