And so is ?: I feel (though I don't know what Srdjan's arguments against
if were as I didn't make it last night).  This is a drop-in replacement:

{
    my $date_bad = ($next_meeting eq '2009-04-14');
    $not_here += $date_bad;
    $attending += !$date_bad;
}

As for dates, 21st would mean I'd be more likely to attend - I have
another regular engagement on the second Wednesday each month, which
about 6/7 of the time is the day after PM but next month starts on
a Wednesday, so changing to a week earlier puts them adjacent again.

Cheers,
    Olly
