THE INSIDE TRACK

The Guys have been attending the Tales of the Cocktail Conference in New Orleans for years, crossing paths with Charlotte.

"Francis:  I remember the first time I met you. I was in a bar in New Orleans, I think, and you came in in full regalia at a Tales thing and you were carrying a croquet mallet and then you opened your mouth and a British accent spilled out. And I thought, wow, that girl's really going all the way with it.

Charlotte: That sounds about right."
