> We are planning a party for your family and friends at the convention. I think most of us believe Tuesday is the best night given all the factors involved. But wanted to make certain you agreed. 
> 
> Thursday is difficult because there is no where near the stadium for the event. Moreover, it will take people a while to get out of the venue. Finally, potus is having a party that evening. Benefit of thursday is there will be more people there, including most, if not all, of your family. 
> 
> Wednesday is difficult because there is a proposed practice at the stadium after the proceedings end. Thus, your attendance at the party might be very late and on the eve of your big speech the next day. Moreover, finance is asking that you headline a party for them on Wed. Obviously we have not committed to this and want to see what you think and what the schedule will allow. 
> 
> If you hold the event on Tuesday, you could do it within walking distance to the arena. Downside is that some may not be in town. 
> 
> Let me know what you think. Need to make a call by tomorrow if possible.

> We have spent the last part of the week in Charlotte scouting venues and times for a Biden Friends and Family party similar to the event we did in Denver, CO.  We wanted to get your thinking about which night you would like to host the party.

> Tuesday night is the first night of the Convention, FLOTUS is speaking and the scheduling at this time is advantageous.  An opening night Friends and Family event builds some enthusiasm and excitement and works well logistically with your schedule and guests.

> 
> Wednesday we anticipate a series of evening activities that include being on stage at the Time Warner Center, Finance events and a walkthrough of the Football Stadium.  It will be a busy night.  If we host the event Wednesday night it will mean a particularly late night the day before your Thursday speech.  Appropriate Wednesday night venues are very limited, with far better options on Tuesday and Thursday.
