I'm gone Thurs-Sunday, so unfortunately nothing this week works for me.
As a side note, I want to let Sandy Thai at the DDBA know that we are
interested, but just realized that the time might be difficult for people
as it is on Thursday the 31st of Oct from 2PM-5PM (I'll have to be working
during those hours). Here's a link to their calendar:
http://davisdowntown.com/ai1ec_event/el-dia-de-los-muertos-celebration/?instance_id=1394
Is anyone actually available for that event?
