Is it considered rude to post on this forum asking providers for availability with such short notice? I've got some free time, can't sleep and can't think of a better way to do it. Anyone available?

i dont think rude at all. i prefer short notice.

the good things in life may be worth waiting for but      they might be too late so why wait when you can have something great and you can get it right now.

hope it worked out for you. my # is on my rsvp page and you can call me anytime to check availability.
