[Blacklabcollective] Show: Institute show on August 10th

[Anju Singh]

Hey Megan sorry you don't feel heard! I want to confirm that I am aware of
your reservations and respect your perspective as a finance person. I
misunderstood and thought this topic was not closed yet. I have a bad
memory so I'm sorry if we shut this down. I suggest if we decide to hold
off we re-open it in October which is when we will know if we get grant
funding.

How's that for everyone?
