I'm a fan of your work but unfortunately I can't make it out so early in the evening... I would love to participate if you host a future event around 8:30 or 9.
It's possible that we'll still be there that late, but can't promise it. Starting early, is mostly for getting a table before the Friday night crowds show up.
