文章内容

Hi, Trey. It's Andy Paulson. Andy, right on time. Thanks so much for getting back to me and agreeing to discuss the parking lot, Ronald. I'm glad we could find a time to discuss this. I'm sorry we need to do this by phone, but I'm headed out of town today. Why don't we start by your telling me a little about what you need? You mentioned an attendant in your email. Let's see if we can work something out.

Right. As I said in the email, we're a small tech company and we're having an event on the evening of March 16th nearby at Misha's Gallery. Oh. What a great venue. We think so too. So we would need to have the lot from about 5 p.m. until the end of the event. We expect around a hundred guests, and parking might get tight in the neighborhood. That's why we were hoping to reserve the lot and possibly have someone help direct cars as they come in.

That makes sense. We can certainly allocate the lot for your event. As for an attendant, we can arrange to have one there for the evening to make sure parking goes smoothly. It would involve an additional fee, but given the size of your gathering, it could really help things run more efficiently. How late do you expect the event to last?
