I must ring the 'futility' bell once again.
But, if you must do it, then have a little fun with it - since it will be the last chance you will get likely.
Why not call them and say that due to work schedules, you will only be able to meet with them on a Wednesday night/Thursday morning at perhaps 3AM. Could they, in their brotherly love, find it within their hearts and schedules to do that for you?
Then, get up at 0305 and call them, telling them you are running a little late. Do the same at 0320, 0340. Then finally at 0400 call and tell them you might have to postpone till this time next week due to car problems. Be kind and persuasive. DO it again next week.
Your announcement will be forthcoming and you would have gotten a little revenge without leaving the house.
