Hello. To answer your question, I chose not to respond as we spoke previously when I was in New Orleans, and you were very impatient. When my profile indicates that I’m not even arriving to town for several days, a few hours for a reply back is not unreasonable.
Had I’d already been in town, marked as “available now”, and you were looking to meet that day, I would have responded right away.
This is simply something part time for me when out of town. I don’t go “on tour”, and when I travel I’ll meet 1-2 people in a city to supplement some of my travel expenses. I will respond at my earliest convenience and be selective about who I meet. Cheers!
