OK (and, also, hello Dan).

I expect to be able to fill out those 6 seats soon but there are several “negotiations” that need to be worked out first.  #1 being between me and my wife (who is I spoke to at the Ottawa (!) airport a few hours ago and who is not yet home and with whom some diffs of opinion need to be worked out.  (Long story).  BUT (since I am certain we are giving the MAX) I cannot imagine we won’t want 6 seats.  The question of WHO those people are is the main question.  

Anyway — please hold 6 seats until tomorrow afternoon and I expect that tomorrow afternoon I’ll be willing to guarantee 6 FILLED seats (even if I don’t have all the names yet).

There will definitely be photos at the event - I remember that Spike Lee dinner and I believe it was candids as he greeted guests around the table, do you still need this link to that? I can certainly find it if so! In any case, I have your six spots reserved and will look forward to getting their details. Dan, copied here, is helping me with this and is collecting that.
