Any color recommendations? Style preferences?

Agreed on the boonie. I've got a light tan/khaki one that has a band of mesh between the brim and the top. Very nice in the extreme heat. Works great for summertime in Texas.

I will be the third one to agree on the boonie hat. They are great, easy to stuff in a bag if need be, and well they just work.

You must be the zen master then.

I would think being involved in running the con would be a huge stress fest.

My hat is off to you sir.

No special powers, its just the perfect mix of ignorance and apathy that keeps me balanced. Also, the booze helps.
