Re: Peter's schedule
Peter,
I mentioned briefly last time, but I would love for you to meet Dasha Zhukova (and, though he's not often in the U.S., her partner Roman Abramovich).
Wendi M. might also have mentioned Dasha to you. She's an incredibly smart, thoughtful and youthful philanthropist who is doing remarkable things in Moscow (The Garage) and St. Petersburg (New Holland) together with her partner.

She and I are planning a high-level gathering focused on the intersection of technology and the arts, in St. Petersburg during White Nights next summer. It is early days but I am highly confident we will attract an entirely different (and vastly more interesting) crowd from those at the myriad conferences we have all attended.
I would love you to hear the concept from Dasha first-hand but if you find it interesting, I think it could be excellent positioning for you, especially outside of the US. She's in New York thru Tuesday of next week, and I'd love if you can find time for coffee. If that's ok, I will ask my office to organise a time with yours.
Best wishes,
Ian
Peter,
Sony, I had thought you might be in NYC for longer.
Dasha only arrives this afternoon so I suspect it will be challenging in that timeframe. Perhaps I can get my office to stay in touch with yours about future NYC dates, and plan something with more advance notice.
For my part I just arrived in SF and seeing Brian Chesky in an hour or so. I will drop you a note afterwards.... are you heading back to the west coast or going elsewhere?
Best wishes,

Ian — I'm heading out of NYC mid-afternoon on Friday (tomorrow), so I'm not sure we could do anything on such short notice. I might be able to meet later this afternoon (5:30pm?), but suspect that will be too short notice.
Best,
Peter
Going to Europe, back in SF on Oct 29.
I'm planning to be in NYC the weekend of Nov 17-18, but that may be the last time this year.

Thanks. I will see if those dates might align for Dasha.
I'm not sure if you are in London at all while in Europe but if so, she's back there (as is Roman) as of Oct. 24th.
Best wishes,
Ian
Peter,
Assuming you still plan to be in NYC this weekend, I wanted to see about organising two coffees/ drinks: one with Dasha Zhukova, the other with Jeffrey Epstein. Dasha is currently arriving Sunday morning but could perhaps come in Saturday night to be around earlier on Sunday.... Jeffrey arrives Friday from the Caribbean and stays thru Tuesday.
Your FT op-ed last Friday was entirely right, and I'm only sorry I missed your OU debate. I presume that you and ICasparov won convincingly?
Best wishes,
Ian
Ian -- I won't make it to NYC this weekend after all (just back for Wednesday/Thursday), so let's try for another time...

Jeffrey,
Please see below from Peter. I can only apologise it is proving so difficult to get you together.
Let me know what you want to do. Will you be on the west coast before the end of the year?? Dasha and I are out there Dec. 14-16. Alternatively we can keep trying for New York.
I will call you later on the other matter.
Best wishes,
Ian

bobby kotick from activision will be at the house on sat night , might be good for you
Will try you again in an hour (just going into something briefly now), then free.
Spoke to Greg Craig earlier this evening. He assures me that Lisa will contact you with update by tomorrow.
Since we couldn't do you and Peter this weekend, I've relented to Silas's demands to go to HK for his daughter's wedding. Taking off at lam, but will either be back to see you in NY or Paris next week, depending on your travel.
