Ah, it has been an interesting work week. Monday we thought the wine was on the way from South Africa, and the Video Conversation Tuesday was in the works. But then Tuesday we found that a WiFi Nightmare had struck at the London International Wine and Spirits Fair! Emails and TransAtlantic cell calls flew and all was moved to Wednesday.
But then, sound, no picture in the Video Conversation, more emails, more calls as Hugh worked the WineFairLive.com stand Wednesday. Video Conversation moved to Thursday. Come Thurday we get a DHL tracking number, and we are on the case of the missing wine. Calls to New York, calls to Florida, emails to London. But no joy, the wine cannot be released! But wait, Jason of Stormhoek is flying from London to New York Friday, and can personally bring some over and then overnight it to Mountain Home, Arkansas to save the day for the Geek Dinner!
Friday Jason did make it to New York with the wine, did call from Starbucks, but it was too noisy to do the Video Conversation, so that went to Saturday morning 9am Central Time. Then Jason headed off to FedEx, because DHL does not do Saturday deliveries, and said he would email us Friday night with tracking information. Can we get the Video Conversation recorded? Will the wine make it to our Geek Dinner? And what has become of Hugh's Art Prints? Stay tuned as the Global MicroBrand turns!

Thanks for the info, Doug. We apparently are not in a select area, but we are able to sign our names.
