Hi all,

Sorry for my delay. I was sick with the flu all weekend and not checking email.

Daytime meetings are tough for me, but if that's our only option, I can make it work.

If in the evening, I'm free any day this week. If during the day, can you guys please throw out some times and I'll see what I can do?

Thanks,

Abby

I'd prefer meeting during the day if that works.  Wed and Thu night are booked for me. I could make it Tue night if necessary.

Are we bringing our laptops to this meeting, and doing a little dry run?

What is the venue like - do we have our own quiet room, or is there typical bar activity to talk over or what?
Is there a screen to display things on that everyone can see?

Cheers,

-Neal
