Abu Ali booked the hall, George reconfirmed Mr. Diab as the evening’s keynote speaker, and I put in the order for a new set of tickets with the May 19th date. Everything worked out. The only real change is the event getting pushed back one month. For those who were not able to attend yesterday’s meeting, this decision made taking into consideration all of the other events happening simultaneously this month (Hype, Forum and Link, Sadar to name a few).  There would have been a lot of completion making ticket sales much more difficult. This extra month will give the community a little bit of time to recover financially as well. In addition we will have more time to promote ensuring the success of the event, as we do not want it to fail.
