Ok. Tuesday at 2pm doesn't work for some people.

Not exactly sure how to figure out a time that works for everyone so ideas are welcome. For now, I've put
a couple of possible dates in the table below along with my name cause all of these dates work for me. How about you guys put your names down in *ALL* the dates that work for you and then we can pick a time that works for most people. We will still meet tomorrow (Tuesday June 7th).
