Yes, of course, Mon and I are well aware of this.

We are setting up the equipment in a rehearsal room at Kispro and will
begin rehearsing tomorrow. I won't go into the details now but there are
very good reasons why we could not begin before this. We need to know
everyone's schedules and when they are available to help in this. Jim,
could you give us some idea of what is possible time-wise in BC, Mon in
NY, Juli in Hawaii, etc., etc. There will be a rehearsal on Sept 7 as you
said but WE WOULD like to begin earlier with the world-wide team
participating.
