You could always do Monday March 29th and a brief reminder on Monday Apr 5th.

Monday before.

HooligansFC- I love the enthusiasm and the Nessy song!

I have a post set to publish 1 am on Monday, April 5. I wrote something up and Andy gave it the thumbs up so we are good to go at IMS for pub.

Whenever you make it to games, bring several growlers from the Brewhouse. That should work just fine.

Games? Bring that stuff to A&C weekend.

Is there a time limit on editing posts? I don't have the edit button on the agenda post any more. Maybe by posting this message I will get an edit button, which I can then use to guess the edit URL for the agenda post. It's worth a try.

The answer is YES, there is a time limit. So I guess I'll have to post the updated agenda each time.

Here is a slightly updated agenda. I added bits about selling off the remaining inventory of merch we have. It seems that a Newmanian fellow has forced a legal issue that will require the hiring of a lawyer. A small amount of money will be required to nail the Newman. It will all be more clear when I talk about it on the 8th. Or you can email me at ajwatt @ visi com.

Also, if anyone knows a bankruptcy lawyer I would appreciate a tip.
