No, I'm not personally offended. I guess I'm just a "Pro-Modular Table" person.
I've also talked with people from the other clubs when we were setting up the
VLC. We were trying to get off to a good start.

Ahh. You know, if the "standard" tables are always the same height we can create
permanent blocks that are the right size to raise them. Then it would be VERY
easy to just plop them down and go.

I'll bet the malls that do have the tables rent them out. Unless they are paying
the venue to display.

Ya, I hadn't even thought about the wires until they were there... But your idea
of the construction was PERFECT. The wires really made it look good.
Kevin, can you list off the march? venue that wanted us to display? We should
get planning...
