That was the first I had heard that I was scheduled. </div><div> I sent off a relatively polite nastigram to the head of programming explaining that since I had no response (and therefore no confirmmation) prior to two days before I was supposed to be there, that it was, unfortunately, no longer an option.</div><div><br></div><div> Short version.
