That’s the best call. But my back-up option would be to try to remember only one thing each person said about themselves. I would aim for the least helpful and relevant thing to show that I was listening but only enough to annoy them. Like forget names, pronouns, gender, sexuality. I would refer to them as “the Chinese-Mexican yonder.” “The tax law human.” “The mutt who isn’t into hook-ups.” And I would make up pronouns, use them inconsistently, but say them confidently with gusto.
