I've got a staple gun - just pliers for removal though. ;-)

We've got more time available, (they let us in at 15:00) having the
tables ready and waiting should help a lot, and I'm going to try to
have as much pre-assembled as I can. I found the biggest time
crunch last time was trying to squeeze too much into too little space.

I like your blue-bucket concrete idea - I'm just looking forward to
carrying them. :-) I'd vote for excess GETS funds to go towards that
rather than T-shirts. If you were able to make them up as you described,
that would actually help more than your tables I think, but there's no
way I could take them in my Honda. I maxed out a full-size rental van
with less than two dozen concrete sidewalk blocks - I would think that
a bucket half full would be plenty, wouldn't it? If you wanted to get
fancy, you could fill the top half with some foam and stick old bricks
on it, or some similar method that would make it look like the buckets
were full of bricks - that would look great. At least eight would be
needed I think, and a much longer rope - better too long than too short.

Don't put any strain on your father - if you'll load at your end,
I'll unload at my end, and I'm sure James would say the same thing.

From what I understand, he _wants_ to do it on his own, but I'll bet
he'll be our number one fan once we start getting setup... :-)

| Sorry I am so late in replying to this thread. We just came back from California, and yes, Legoland is neat. I was disappointed by the selection of Lego in their store. No large technic sets, only train sets were the track, the station and loading (...) (24 years ago, 16-Dec-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug, lugnet.trains.org)
