Check your calendars, maybe there's a previous engagement.

probably not, I can't imagine that some people attending Manchester would be all too thrilled about the CD going on in Keene.  Which will result in more knowledge?  I'll probably put my money on Keene.

No idea.  Was just disseminating the press release I received.

Bummer, I'd like to attend that screening. But the CD here in Keene can not be rented later.
