I live in San Jose, have a truck and can get the time off on Thursday. I need
a day off anyway. I am available to take everything in and get it started early
(8-9 am). On the other hand I DO NOT have a membership to NMRA and really am
completely inexperienced in Train setups. I love lego but have never had any
of the rail setups. This puts a kink in the works, but there is my offer. I
can be there Friday after 7pm and my available time during the weekend is
spastic. Lets hash this out.

| I can help set up Thursday from 3pm onwards, but have no way to transport tables, etc. I will be free Friday about 3pm onwards, and all Sat and Sun.
