I'm trying to get info on this--it's a completely differnet display if we're
against the wall.  Waiting to hear back.  I think, thoguh, that we'll handle the
display well no matter if there's a wall or not.  As long as we're near the
Meccano dudes again--that was awesome stuff!

6 8' tables and 80 feet of stanstions ordered.  With the train layout and the 6
tables basically covers the perimeter.

Since I'm not bringing anything for the train layout (except the blue skirting
cloth), I'll see whatelse I can muster up.  I'll be running around for most of
the show, getting my excercise and hopefully losing this monstrous gut I've
acquired over the last few months...
