Yes, I know I was one of the people who wanted to attend PGSV and PGBR,
and could only attend PGSV.  Unfortunately, I have already accepted to
attend PGSV and _again_ can't attend PGBR.  Ugh!  I realize there is
nothing that can be done, and PGSV probably did the best they could when
the chose their date.  Let's face it, they can't choose a date based on
just me or a few people.
