Any church groups/conferences scheduled?
Then we could just spend our time riding the elevator with Vortex in a corset.
And we could take pictures!
"This is Vortex scandalizing some women."
"This is Vortex tempting some husbands to sin."
"This is Vortex being told she's going to hell by a pastor."
"This is Vortex rubbing her boobs in the pastor's face."
"This is the pastor admitting he will be joining Vortex in hell."
"This is the pastor smiling."

Ha! I remember a con-goer (maybe Selina Rosen?) telling me about a con in the 80s sharing a hotel with some big Baptist gathering. A bunch of the fundamentalists gathered around the lobby piano to sing along with somoene's filk version of "Old Time Religion" until they listened closer to the lyrics and realized exactly how old-time the religions the pianist had in mind were.
Add in ND in a kilt and it'll be perfect.

I remember that elevator ride. The guy hesitating on the threshold, someone assuring him, "It's okay, we don't bite." Him stepping inside with an ingratiating grin. And as the doors slide shut, "Unless you ask nicely."
I'd like the chance to do that again. Can we actively seek a religious convention?

you forgot "trying not to stare at Vortex's breasteses on display"
That was definitely an elevator ride to remember.
I heard that story years ago, Matt, but in the version I heard, it was a Larry Niven/Old Time Religion filk, which started something like this:
Give me that pro Larry Niven,
Give me that pro Larry Niven,
Give me that pro Larry Niven,
He's good enough for me.
So the Ringworld is unstable,
So the Ringwold is unstable,
It's the best that he was able,
And it's good enough for me.

I once sang that song on-stage as part of a group. My solo was the verse that rhymed "Aphrodite" with "see-through nightie."
And there are plenty of places near Madison where scandalizing people is like shooting fish in a barrel.
