Wendy and I had a brief conversation about press access to our meetings and came up with some very easy instructions for members of the media to follow when they’d like to cover one of our meetings.

2005/02/10 Meeting Canceled

2

We had such an awesome meeting last week, it sucks that Mother Nature thwarts our efforts to continue to have great meetings. In anticipation of the very foul weather Thursday, we are canceling yet another meeting.

If anyone wants to venture out in the nasty weather for dinner, bug j.

Since it’s the Chinese New Year, we should go for dim sum soon.
