This year is a tough one. Not sure I can enter, but if all is well next year, I’d love to be kept on the list.
We completely understand. For the first time ever we are unable to participate (hosting plus participating plus childcare is too big a challenge for us). Sending many good thoughts to you.
Very much looking forward to this year’s iteration!
I have a question regarding time zones. ET is eastern time, not EDT , right?
Eastern time, yes. Sorry to cause any confusion.
