...Our first show had about 12 40"x40" tables. It really isn't hard to cover that much
table space with train, track, and assorted models. You guys will love it :-)

...I also recommend green stain (should be available from any home depot like store). We
use it at WAMALUG, and it is fairly close to LEGO green but because its a stain it catches
the texture of the wood and makes for a much nicer effect than just a flat field of green
(I'll try to get a close up shot of the tables this weekend).

...We just had a table building meeting/cookout a few weeks ago that went great. Built
bunches of tables and everyone had a good time (I missed it tho :-( The volunteers don't
have to be building experts, just willing to try and help out. And doing a whole get
together thing is good for the morale of the person having to do most of the wurk :-)
...you can go back to ignoring me now...
