Actually, I am trying to get him to come but everytime I click on the Live Help picture of him I get this message. "Sorry, no operators are available at the moment. Please try back later."

Thanks for the explanation. I'm back on the newsletter mailing list (at least for a couple weeks

)

Fine, I'll come so that you guys can correct my sleeve pitch. I'll also bring along some real horn buttons so you can take the plastic ones off your suit.

Please request the invitation again. I accidentally opted out of your incoming request email.

I would like to come but seeing how I do not know anyone from here (in real life non internet format) I think it may be a little weird. What am I going to walk around the room and ask people " Excuse me are you on the Styleforum if so what is your user name"? It is tempting.....

It's just like going to a store. Look for an old guy with a beard and a tape measure around his neck. Take out a credit card and tell him you need a dozen pairs of cashmere socks. He'll introduce you to everyone.

And before I forget in the annual insanity of CSE, Happy Birthday, J!

I'm there. My question is, can I get these items in shell cordovan, and with tassels?

 

[Kent Wang]

I'll be there on both days, around the afternoon.

I thought you were presenting?

 

[Kent Wang]

Nope, just as a guest.

I actually know a little something about cocktailistry and mixology, if you like for me to bartend? I'm bartending another shindig that weekend too.

If there's enough left after paying for the hotel suite, I'll grab a couple of bottles of Mateus and Thunderbird on my way in Friday.

Actually ... all the white wine you can drink. Can't have red around the fabrics.
