I really like the idea of planning the table placement like that. I
would like to add one suggestion though: use the tables as a physical
barrier to keep the public away from things we don't want them to
touch. This may not stop the smaller children from running under the
table, but it makes it clear that some things are "off limits".
This might include models that are not on display, those intended to
be viewed from afar but not handled, or just our personal stuff like
the things we bought from Uncle Dan, purse/fanny pack, etc.
I think the Duplo area, if any, should be more accessible, towards the
center of the room.

P.S.: why aren't we using lugnet.org.us.baylug for this thread? It
seems more appropriate there, but it seems like people prefer to post
here.
