Yes, please, no cologne or perfume. We're here to listen to cans and socialize, not a speed dating circuit.

I agree with laying off of the greasy, slimey gel and Gerry Curl.

The Hotel is pretty well cooled, right?

I think it's a SoCal tradition to have sweltering sweat fests.

the most important rule is to have fun while simply doing no harm and being considerate.
The hotels in Florida tend to err on the cool side indoor temp should not be a problem.

Heh, you might want to hold that thought John until after some of the big tube rigs get fired up (pun intended ).

bring the "M" on brother no windows in the show area like unlike the meet in tampa that had a view of the pool, sweet view but made the room hot. Last meet in this place it was cool as a cucumber.

Very good thread. You'de be surprised how much common sense lacks, lol.

It being so close to the beach, it might be a good idea nobody come into the meet room straight from the beach because Suntan Lotion is BRUTAL on fabric, plastic and leather. Not to mention sand is a PITA to clean.

Same goes for the pool...make sure you shower before listening to anything if coming from either of those places....

Would it be ok if a hair product was in a person's hair but they wore a hat that completely covered all the hair that the product was on?

I typically put in some hair creme because I have curly hair, but only on the hair on the top of my head, if I wore a hat, none of my hair could come in contact with any part of the headphones. (I have pretty short hair so there is no possible way that the hair with the creme in it could touch any part of the headphones.)

Is that alright?

just go without for a day or 2.

i seriously doubt anybody at the meet will think less of you if your hair is big and fluffy.

Hmm, I guess I'll just wear a hat and no hair product.

My hair is a mess without it, so I have to conceal it for humanities sake.

Hats aren't a problem, right?
