If you want us to schedule this
you need to say what is going on
and exactly when.
This 2 day
but no info
is not good.

There will be lots of info to follow very shortly. I'm sure Hillary is basically telling you that a Blenko event is coming up and you might want to keep August 22-23 open. I am pretty sure what's planned for that weekend. but we need to button down a couple of details and we'll get you all the info you need.

So is there a collectors group
or is there not a collector group?
Agenda complete for the 2 days would be very appropriate.

I have the schedule, but it's changing almost daily. I'd hate to give you a schedule and then have to give you and updated one the next day. Be patient just another day or so. It will be worth it.

Still no complete
agenda?
What gives?
