(...) I found out that the tables are 2.5 x 6 feet!?! Kevin!! Can these work at all? Please post your synopsis. On the other side of the coin, David has secured 2 suitable doors, so that makes a total of 3 doors in the bag (for nothing!). How many (...) (23 years ago, 10-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

Just another thought ... For this first show (TTOS in Richmond) we do have free tables available for use. Should I inquire as to sizes and see if we could make them work for us? It would sure save us some money right now, and let us all concentrate (...) (23 years ago, 9-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)
