</span><span class ="txt0"><span class ="bold">===========<br>
<br>
</span></span><span class ="txt0"> We try to stick to the schedule, in particular on Forth Day. Remember that schedule slip is sometimes unavoidable. If a guy's on a roll, one wouldn't want to interrupt.<br>
<br>
Once in a while we shuffle things around, for whatever reason. It may be ill-considered, but it isn't malicious. <br>
<br>
If you're desperate to see a particular thing at a particular time please mention it and we'll try to accommodate you. If we get enough of this sort of request, we'll institute a system of graft and corruption in order to accomodate the well-healed among you. <br>
<br>
_______________________________________________<br>
<br>
The schedule above may be reformatted or line-justified but please transmit it verbatim and in its entirety or not at all. A link to this page is preferred.<br>
_______________________________________________<br>
<br>
No Newsgroup posts or other media distribution please! Contact me and we'll discuss it BEFORE you proceed. <br>
