Something like 20 years ago when I was living in NYC, I was invited to the Apple Store in Chelsea to take part in a panel about the forums with Apple staff. I hadn't used them in years, but I had a lot of posts with upvotes or whatever it was.

Anyway, I don't remember anything about the panel, but afterwards they took us to this swanky restaurant with a huge charcuterie spread and an open bar. I remember commenting to one of the other participants that the wine was like $20.00+ per glass, with a bit of a cringe. An Apple employee overheard me and was like "don't worry about it, this is all on Apple!"

Pretty sure I drank like $1000.00 worth of wine that night, and I remember ending up in a cab with some Apple staff members who were in town from California, but I'm not sure if we carried on after that.

If anyone from Apple is reading this, maybe we should all get together for a debriefing/lessons learned now that it's all shutting down?
