[WXBH-Discuss] This Thurs. 5:00 - Forecastle Concept and Planning Meeting

[brian manley]

Oops, sorry about that blank response.

I'm in.

Although, July 27 is a Friday, during which I will be at work until 5-6ish.

And the meeting at Atomic: I can't be there at 5. I dont think I could make
it after work until somewhere in the ballpark of 6ish, 6:15ish.
