Hmm. Well, two and a half, but yeah, it's not a 4-sided layout location.
There's an easy solution, but it depends on what requirements they have for
clearances. If we do a 36x12 layout, that gives us a walkway (4' wide) behind
- but the show might not be allowed to have traffic flow that constricted.
Or we can do a 36x18 'open C'. Basically, if we're still being given a choice
between big and freakin' huge, I'm still (again, in perpetuity) registering a
perference for merely big.
I don't think I can emphasize enough how hesitant I am about manning a 60'
layout with 2 people at a '10,000 expected attendance' show.
