The District of Columbia is one of those places to which people from all over America and the world come for work, so there is always an interesting mix at events like this. Plus, this was an event for people working in the arts as healing and in particular doing so with the military and veterans community, so it was a particularly diverse group of artists, musicians, writers, doctors, researchers, and scientists, veterans, service members, &c.
I received several questions and comments about the Nantucket Reds: some people had never seen them, several asked about the texture and tint, one guest from Iowa referred to them as being salmon colored. He was quickly dis-abused of that fallacy by Ms. F.
Reds fall into the broad category known as go-to-hell pants. These might include any brightly colored pant, I suppose, but particularly madras pants and other trad / prep looking togs. I love the look of color--especially among the grey-suit uniformed classes in DC--and enjoy the conversations that inevitably follow arriving in a pair of GTH pants.
