No problem. That guy I chatted up at the bar was pretty cool; I gave it even odds during our conversation that he was actually you... I sent out "feelers" to see where he was coming from and we were both giving each other knowing looks the entire time. Haha. Alas, we briefly talked politics and then I knew it couldn't be you.
I'm totally down for the election event, so long as you and/or Prelag (or others?) are doing something. Tampa area meetups are kind of far for me (~1 hour), so I can't really get around there on a work day until 6:30-7:00 or so. Not a problem on my end, but I'm just throwing it out there in case you all had something earlier in mind, which I'd have to miss or show up late.
All the best.
