Sorry to hear you're not well!

Great that you're already planning on visiting. Do you have to request 
a special entrance to visit tomorrow, or are they usually open on 
Saturdays?

I think I'll try to get a visit done this afternoon, just so I can be sure 
to have done it, but I will also try to join you tomorrow, scheduling 
willing. I don't mind visiting twice, though my tomorrow schedule is in 
some flux. (Naturally, Sunday all day is blocked out for the event!)

Is there a particular person at Pivotal I should ask to talk to? If not, I 
will simply stop by and see if they have an office manager who knows about 
our event, which seems a perfectly reasonably likely way to succeed.
