Blaine,

I'm fine with waiting till after the convention to do the dining in the
dark.  A Thursday or Friday would be better for us, but what does that do to
your work schedule?  I really don't want to do it on a Sunday.  Let me know
what you think.

Got in contact with Ed Tate from Louigi's. He just got back from vacation
and has been looking at Duffy's Bar in Boalsburg for their next expansion.
He's been busy! Sundays and Thursdays would be better for them. If on
Saturday, another location such as Best Western or the Citizen's Center
would be best with Louigi's catering. They have so many events scheduled on
Saturdays such as wedding parties and such.

We are now so close to Whitecane day, would it be better to hold off until
October, perhaps during the last week, which would also be the week after
the convention? That would give us a chance to try to advertise more, give
people a better idea of what we are doing since we could give a report of
what happened at the convention. I know that would set us up for the week
just before Halloween, but then maybe that would appeal more to the public
since everyone would be wearing blindfolds. If we could do it on Thursday or
Friday the 27th or 28th, that might be better? I didn't bring this up when
we talked, so I don't know how that would fit with his schedule, but I think
we ought to consider it.

Need some feedback very soon.

Blaine
