Top 5 Reasons to Move the Date of CMEpalooza Spring from Wednesday, April 22 to Wednesday, April 29
5. The Philadelphia Phillies have a day game against the despicable New York Mets on April 22, and Scott and Derek have to be available for in-person booing
4. Scott realized Nick at Nite is running an all-day Alf and Silver Spoons marathon that cannot be missed on April 22
3. Derek bought a super challenging jigsaw puzzle and really needs the time to focus
2. April 22 is National Jelly Bean Day, and no one should ever schedule a conference on National Jelly Bean Day
1. Derek has to attend another conference on April 22 and—because he is a big doofus—forgot that it is the same day as CMEpalooza Spring until he went to book his travel two days ago
[very very very long sigh]
Yes, we are moving the date of CMEpalooza Spring to Wednesday, April 29. I repeat, we are moving the date of CMEpalooza Spring to Wednesday, April 29.
Yes, it is because I am a big doofus and forgot I have a conflict.
Yes, you can make fun of me for it.
Yes, Scott is annoyed with me but has been a good sport about it.
Yes, our faculty and panelists have been amazing in accommodating the date change. The agenda remains intact.
Yes, it is a minor miracle that it took until our 23rd CMEpalooza for this to happen. A small pat on our backs for that.
Once again, we are moving the date of CMEpalooza Spring to Wednesday, April 29. Update your calendars now. Regularly scheduled blog posts to follow.
CMEPALOOZA 
Sorry, I can’t that day. My uncle’s cousin’s sister-in-law’s best friend’s insurance agent’s roommate’s pet goldfish passed away, and the funeral is that day. Maybe next time.
We understand, and we pass along our condolescences. Losing a fish is always hard.
