I need to check my business cards and make sure I spelled it correctly on them.

By popular demand we are adding a second date for this dinner. Wednesday February 6th at 6:30.
Roger will still be here to host this event. please call to make your reservations

Ironically, just about the moment I remembered I'd forgotten to mention the Wednesday addition, David beat me to it.

A two night beer dinner engagement ... can't tell you how pumped I am about this gig.
