*Hint*

The earliest convenience would be the date set for the Golf Tournament, as I believe it's when Bill winds down promotions and moves onto the next, anything earlier would be half-assed.
In general, I would rather join a project / Invest in a project after having a face-to-face with the developer, as well as finding out he participated in one of MY projects and also donated to the cause - twice.
A telephone conversation, although a nice point of contact, does not do any justice or give confidence in a situation like this, where most participants are anonymous.
I have faith in bholzer's marketing tactics and experience, I believe he knows what he is doing and has put much thought into this.
