Well the deadline (to commit) is tomorrow, and with it being the
largest model train show in Canada, if felt strongly enough that
there should be a LEGO presence there that I have committed
myself to attending and putting on a display on my own.

Grr.  Well, the work-drive-setup-display-teardown-drive-work cycle
doesn't appeal to me, not with only 1 or 2 other people to share
the load, but....       I'm in.  Grr.  No guarantees about not
going postal after the show, though.

Don't feel obligated - and don't do it unless you want to.  LEGO is
our hobby - not a work commitment.  I'm willing to handle it by myself.

Nah, I do want to do it - I just know what I'm getting into. ;)

I'll take the van down, which means the whole layout can go, tables and all.

Actually the tables wouldn't be required, as they have them there for
only $8 each.  They require that the tables be skirted though, so I was
just going to get a roll of green paper to use as "skirts" and for green
baseplate substitutes.  That big van should be able to hold about ten
times the amount of LEGO as my Honda though...  :-)

We might as well use the tables we've got, rather than renting tables down
there.  Also, if they use generic banquet tables, which 103% of rental
places do, there's no real guarantee about a level surface.

Duplicating our tables in rentals would run us another 40 or 50 bucks - I'd
like to not spend money we don't have to.

(...) It's not like you don't have a few grey plates to compensate with. :-) (...) The tables are 2'x8', so $40 would give us a good chuck more space than we have with the existing tables. The cost shouldn't be an issue due to the "gate-share" (...) (24 years ago, 15-Dec-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug, lugnet.trains.org)
