The only concern I see is that the setup time has been cut by an hour and a
half on Friday (we usually get until 9pm to set up). I'm sure we can stay
until they kick us out, but if it is as early as 8pm, we may have our work
cut out for us. If this is the case, I would like to request more volunteers
on Saturday morning.
