You're in Amsterdam and were supposed to start an hour early but we started half hour early or so. Yeah 20 minutes later than we should have started I'm telling you this was completely my mistake. We, I thought we had discussed like maybe we'll do an hour early and if we really hadn't finalized it now normally I always proofread the newsletter. I was with my sister last night were having dinner and the newsletter comes in and I'm like, yeah, I'm not going to do that. And Tina, Tina's like screw that old guy no way don't do the newsletter

I've been ready for an hour and a half. We said now we can have a nice dinner because it won't be done until midnight. So we'll eat together. And uh...and you know, I just ordered coffee and Tina goes, Hey! Twitter's on fire. Everyone is expecting you!" Like oh okay. brought the coffee upstairs and got started right away. I'm sorry, that was completely my fault." Yeah it was! So here we are... Although i could have sent out a you know just as friendly reminder which i should have done but i didn't see the need no and it's carelessness yes on my fault on my part too Tina said you know if it were me i would have double checked and said just to make sure she says yes i know by the way she is packed like tetris this trip She's so good at it
