On it.
I'll call the organizers and see if there was any miscommunication when I booked
us at this show. I do seem to recall some sort of talk originally between
myself and the show organizers about this possibility, but I thought I left it
in no uncertain terms that we would be just bringing a train layout, and that we
'had no time or resources to organize a 'play area''. At least, that's where I
thought I left it.
Anyway, I booked it, my responsibility to fix it. I feel bad that this
happened, but Ted's (the show organizer) a nice guy and I'm pretty sure we'll
come to an amicable understanding..
