Thanks for Rocking!

[your-friendly neighborhood-pain-in-the-ass]

Joe, don't let Manny get to you. You did a great job. Most people would have 
just canceled if they had lost their venue. You not only went on with the 
show but found a great replacement venue. Keep up the good work and I'm 
looking forward to seeing what you'll bring to the city in the future.
