Where will we be meeting to start setting up on Friday, and will it still • be
at 2pm? Does anyone need help transporting anything for the show on • Friday? I
live in Medford so if your relatively close I can help if needed!

Myself and Tom Duggan are planning on being there as close to 2pm as • possible.
We will be meeting at my place in Melrose before going up between 1pm and
1:30pm to load all the tables and stuff in my truck.  If anyone would like • to
meet us there E-mail me privately so I can give you directions.

If you are meeting at the show the best thing to do is just walk around • till
you see us.  I don't know where we will be this time but I would check the
location we had last time (Far back left).  If you still can't find us go • to
the Magazine/Book area at the Back Center that is where checkin is and • they can
point you to our location.

Just as a reminder, daylight savings time starts on 4/1 this year which • means
we will be "Springing Ahead" by one hour on Sunday.  This is just a • reminder
because those that forget to change their clocks will be an hour late to • the
start of the show.

I will be reminding everyone over the weekend as well.


See you there,


Eric Kingsley

Copied to LUGNET and the NELUG Mailing List...

If possible please respond to this message on LUGNET in the NELUG
Newsgroup.  http://news.lugnet.com/org/us/nelug/  If that is
inconvenient feel free to E-mail me or the Mailing list.

Times:

Friday 3/30   2pm - 7:30pm  = Setup
Saturday 3/31 8am - 10:30am = Setup
Saturday 3/31 11am - 5pm    = Showtime!
Sunday 4/1    11am - 4pm    = Showtime!
Sunday 4/1    4pm - 9pm     = Breakdown

Directions:

Info in () is mine the rest is Greenberg's.

The Shriners Auditorium is located 12 miles north of Boston.  Take I-93
to Exit 39 (This is North of I-95 and South of I-495), turn right onto
Concord Street, go 1/4 mile then turn left on Fordham Road.  (Its a
little ways down Fordham Road just keep going you can't miss it).  For
additional directions call 781-665-6466, 800-700-0013 or visit
(Greenberg's) website at www.greenbergshows.com .


I believe that Tom Duggan and myself will be there between 2 - 3pm on
the 30th to start setting up tables.  All the help possible would be
nice but I realize some of you have to work (why I don't know) so feel
free to show up when you can.  I will also be there first thing • Saturday
to finish setup.  We need help during all show hours to man the layout.
Breakdown will commence promptly at 4pm on Sunday, if memory serves • this
should take no more than 2 hours probably less.


I have 10 Exhibitor passes.  These get you into the show anytime. • These
will be handed out on 3/30 first come first served (with consideration
to those that commit to the most time over the weekend).  Our • experiance
is that these are not checked durring setup but they are nice to have • if
you have to leave the show and come back.

I also have 15 Complimentary Admission passes.  These get you into the
show for free but don't allow as much access as the Exhibitor passes.
If you cannot be there for setup on either Friday or Saturday but plan
on being at the show let me know and we can work out how to get these • to
you.  Again these are first come first served with consideration to
those that commit to the most time over the weekend, including setup • and
breakdown.


My hope is to have all of the major stuff setup on Friday like the
tables, Track, Major pieces of Scenery etc.  Setup on Saturday should • be
for detailing only (figs, vehicles, last minute pieces of scenery).

The tables are the biggest PITA in that with so few people they will
probably take a few hours to get set up so for those that can't help
with the tables I think you should give Tom a big kiss! I will settle
for a thank you and a handshake :-).


Those that were there last time know how much fun this was (whether or
not Tom's train "needed help" or not is still debated to this day).  My
major contribution this time will be scenery.  I will be leaving most • of
my trian at home with the obvious exception of the NELUG boxcar.  I • have
the lumber for the 2 new tables and will be putting them together this
weekend.  I did not get any plexi-glass as discussed because I just
don't have the time for this show.  We can probably do it for the next
show.


If there are any questions please ask them sooner rather than later.


Thanks,
