No, according to YOU that trip wasn't made to chat with me, you just "happened to be nearby" on some other mission and "took a little side trip" to skulk around at the Festival and chat with me incognito without revealing who you were or even bringing up your favorite topics of Peak Oil or Geochemistry which might have rung a bell with me so I would recognize you.  This is hardly "showinhg respect".  It's more like "STALKING".  :o  The IRL version of what you do here online with me.

Holy run on sentence batman.

Yes...there was other travel involved. And it was nowhere near South Carolina, so while perhaps the total deviation wasn't 1500 miles, it was substantially more than a normal person's "nearby", not even being in the same part of the country, and an entire nother days drive away. Of course, "nearby" is relative. To K-Dog who doesn't seem to get out much, 50 miles might be nearby. To you, "nearby" might only be where the facilities van will haul you, what is that, maybe 20 miles? To me "nearby" is the L48, My drives to Alaska are about the only place I've driven that doesn't qualify as "nearby". My concept of a "drive" isn't like normal peoples. You've got your million miles doing it professionally, my total now stands at 1.4 million cage miles ( motorcycles are another quarter million). So, maybe nearby for me, not anywhere in a nearby universe to you or K-Dog.

Walking up to you and beginning a conversation is hardly skulking. Or stalking. I wasn't there to discuss my areas of interest, but to see how IRL you presented yours. And how seriously you took this SUN thing. The after pictures and stories of drunken revelry and poor scooter riding at the lake house would seem to negate the seriousness of the venture at the end of the day.

And while I am hell on wheels when it comes to peak oil, geochemistry doesn't even make my top 10 favorite topics...maybe you've confused me with someone else?  8)
