This has been a running gag in real life over multiple cons. Somehow 
Keith has a blind spot for your face, I guess. Early in the con I ran 
into Keith and you a few minutes apart and asked if he'd recognized you, 
and you said he didn't.

Being moderately face-blind myself, I'm not going to laugh at the 
running gag.
