Stop the presses: There is an Office Hours change in schedule.

When business is sluggish, one does not second-guess a manager's last-minute decision to book a party of 40 persons into Prost on a Monday night, even if it means displacing the Office Hours session.

I have made an immediate, executive decision as of 4:35 p.m.: We will postpone the Imperial Stout segment scheduled for tonight until next Monday, December 13.

Those still interested in coming tonight, please do; I'll be there, we will sit in the area outside Prost, there'll be no recording, and we'll improvise another substitute tasting, perhaps something wintry. Perhaps we can discuss the implications of the beer list changes discussed in Wednesday Weekly last week.

Sorry for the last minute nature of the change. We need the money. So there.
