| SUBJECT | RE: [hangout] scheduled demo
|
Hi, Dimitar, I missed this email. I'm very sorry. I was gone that week
for personal reasons. I wish I had seen it because this would have
resolved our problem tonight. I would have told you to just run with
it.
I spoke to Ted Brown at CUNY today. He was worried about the show, and
felt that we needed a schedule. I told him I'd talk to the board and
get back to him. Which I tried to do but he seems to have left early
today. I'm glad you have had some contact with them while I was
unavailable. The feeling I got was that a schedule was very important
to him, so I am preparing one to send to him tonight for when he arrives
tomorrow morning. One possibility I may suggest to him on the phone, is
that we do not necessary need the large theater. He expressed concern
to me that that particular theater was difficult to reserve and he
wanted to make sure we would make full use of it. We would prefer to
have a demonstration space in which people can freely move about and
speak to us informally as well as watch demonstrations at different
stations. When I speak to him tomorrow I will suggest the possibility
of putting us in an open space without seating. That may make him feel
more comfortable about having us there as well as be closer to what we
were envisioning.
Then again, we can certainly make the theater work as well, and it may
not be beneficial for him to move us last minute anyway.
