A: Look, considering everything, I think it's best if we just push it back a week, or (maybe) two.

B: Really? When we're only a week away? People are going to be pissed. 

A: Well, would you rather have them come to an under-prepared party? We're bound to piss off some people either way. we might as well let that happen before the party and deal with it later, know what i mean?

B: I guess you're right. well then, we'd better start sending out the message. 

A: Yeah, You might want to get Alan up here too. He's got direct contact with some of them. 

B: Right, I'll call him right now. oh wait, Does that mean Sean and his people can't make it? Remember?

He said they were going ond a hiking trip to the Andes. I think they leave on 16th.

A.Oh, well, It might be for the best. You know all they'll do is spread obnoxious rumors and make people feel uncomfortable. Trust me. We're better off without them.(We're better off not having them at the party./We're better off not having them come.) But i suggest you lay him down easy. He really seemd excited about the party.
