jhine,
I have had a couple of reserved seats notices printed I can get there early and stick them on two chairs in the front row for us.
Just to make it more exciting I could put reserved for Governing Body stickers along the same row and an illuminated one for Aunt Connie next to us .I have a supermarket carrier bag in which to put my own bottle of wine but could you bring a couple of plastic cups and because the official wine will not be blest I can perform a blessing over our vino in the plastic cups .I have some cheese for the crackers by the way.
In order to be recognised I shall be the one at the front wearing a red cardinals hat and matching slippers. Maybe I should wear a nuns habit and go as a cross dresser no pun intended. What ever just look for the carrier bag under the chair.
