I have to change my status to Bronze unfortunately. Involved in a huge merger, not going so well so have to be around.
Looks like such a great event, sorry will have to miss.

*A Flyer -- I was looking at the list, and noticed that it's got my name, but not my +1. We're both definitely coming.
Oh, and we won't be making the Thursday events (our flight comes in a bit late, meaning we have to catch a late ICE, so we don't get into Berlin until after 9:00 pm). We will see everyone on Friday!
Thanks again for organizing,

I don't think I've ever heard Bob W, from ANC, talk about being cold, or chilly, before.
All kidding aside, thanks for the heads up on the weather.

Thank you. I can prepare for that. I've been in NY forever, but having grown up in the Caribbean, I get cold much too easily, so I tend to dress warmly. Brrr.
