I goofed on the scheduling

00:01:07.410 --> 00:01:09.420 align:middle line:84%
So would you help
spread the word for us

00:01:09.420 --> 00:01:12.780 align:middle line:90%
that it will be the 14th?

00:01:12.780 --> 00:01:17.448 align:middle line:84%
And we'll send out another

University Art Museum.
