I'm taking Friday off, so I can do my best to be there at 5pm as well.
Downtown to Airport at that time is not pretty. :-)

You sound like a good candidate to drive in. I've got a trolley,
assuming I can fit it in my car with the rest of the stuff I can use it
to fairy stuff in from the loading dock. Should only take me two trips,
considering I can get the stuff down to my car in three and that's
because I need to fit through narrow doors which I shouldn't have to do
at the international center. (take a breath)

Have we asked for a power drop, or do we need honda generator again. I
think we should all plan to bring a power bar that way hopefully a few
of us will remember.

I'll build an RCX 1.0 into Altenburg where I built the controller in for
the Road Show. It will connect to the Altenburg loop.

I'll bring what I can.

We should bring sheets or something to cover the layout at night. I've
got a few old white ones I can bring.

I'm happy to be there for the entire show, less breaks for lunch, and
other necessities of life. :-)

Unfortunately this was going to be too much work. If anyone has or can
think of a quick way to make stantions that we can use let us know.
Otherwise we'll have to go naked. Although we could always make a dash
down to the Airport. "Why Yes, we are sponsored by Air Canada, thanks
for noticing."
