I was not attempting to cause trouble for trouble's sake - I was merely trying to find out why a certain group of ladies (with one exception) who call themselves "First Class" was not at the Meet & Greet.  It seems strange to me that such a good marketing opportunity would go unutilized.  I thought the event itself was definitely "First Class" - location, food, drink, organization; as were all the ladies that I interacted with.  If such an outing was too plebian for these "First Class" ladies, pethaps they are not the type of individual I would feel comfortable with.  I was merely attempting to make this determination.
