Annotated last paragraph of an email from me to the CEO of a successful digital distribution company:

That said, I’d be happy to meet up for drinks, though would also love to get you on the phone with [San Francisco-based Cyan VP] Josh [Pincus] at some point, as he’s our point-man for all things digital. Would Wednesday or Friday afternoon work for a call? And, sometime next week for a round of drinks?

Last paragraph of the CEO’s reponse:

As for drinks, my drinking schedule is COMPLETELY OPEN next week, and I am ashamed. Monday at 8:30 AM EST before work?

Then, capping it all off, an email to both of us from Josh Pincus:

A call at that time on Wednesday works for me. Drinks sound good too; I’ll be at a bar at 5:30 AM Monday so that we’re all drinking at the same time.

other Josh

Worst part is, come Monday at 5:30/8:30 AM, there’s at least a 50% chance we’ll actually be having those drinks.
