Guess who booked a flight to San Francisco at precisely the time this Refresh will happen? That's right, this guy. D'oh.

Sorry I'll miss it, but this sounds like it'll be really good!

Arrgh. Does everything have to happen on the SAME night? I'm dying to see this but that's the same night as the PRSA board meeting AND the WWPR mixer. Communications organizations in DC do a LOT of stuff on Thursday nights -- resulting in schedule conflicts for the hopelessly overbooked -- maybe we need to mix it up a little!

I think I need Hermione Granger's time turner pendant so I can be 3 places at once!
