Regarding the whole FWA thing:

+ When did the local law regarding mask requirements change?
+ Are there state or local laws that prevent businesses from requiring masks in their spaces?
+ Does the venue have rules forbidding requirements of masks?

We're really quick to blame conventions for this kind of thing, but it might not be up to them. Strongly recommending, but not requiring, masks to be worn might be the very most they're legally allowed to do.

I don't have the full story, so I might be wrong. But so can you!
