I am pretty sure that most if us will never attend a formal event in hot weather where the waitstaff/caterers are kilted, so much of this talk may be less literal than it appears. But I stand by my advice and general desire not to look like I am working at an event where I am a guest.
Yes, true. It's diffucult to read things here, without the benefit of vocal accentuation.

I've also done the waiting thing, and was invited to do the military thing too... neither lasted long. Funny, I guess I don't take orders very well.

Anyway, as I said, I (and my friends) have never been considered "staff" (as far as being a musician goes), but that is definitely not to say that we haven't been a casual bunch of (seemingly-untrained) misfits! ;)
