Sorry to hear your ordeal...sounds very much like my encounter with a self proclaimed kilt expert (wearing trousers, of course) during the Pleasanton Games back in September where I was told that my kilt was too short. The only difference is that you had it happen twice in one evening!! Apparently you had some sort of sign on your back that said "I need to be abused tonight...please find fault with my attire!" LOL

Ah well...glad you were able to find acceptable seating in the end. Ya cain't fix stupid!!
