[Deptheads] Guests and Special Events Pages

[Eric Burgess]

Matt was just surprised to hear from someone other than me. We were
planning to connect and discuss it at Essen but schedules didn't work
out. We've been in contact throughout October as I was staying in one
of the rooms he booked at Essen.

The problem here is people stepping out of their roles and jumping
ahead to reach out to people they have not cultivated a relationship
with. I think Janice's time could be better used getting more and
better dealers in the dealer room than jumping in on Eric Downing's,
Heather's and my responsibilities.

Janice - please share with us what 'other' matter you contacted Matt
about so Heather and I can know when we speak to him further and do
not appear more unprofessional than this has already made us seem.

I'm compiling a list for the ONE request for a list of guests planned
for the future. I will post it shortly.
