Nah, I do want to do it - I just know what I'm getting into. ;)

We might as well use the tables we've got, rather than renting tables down
there.  Also, if they use generic banquet tables, which 103% of rental

Duplicating our tables in rentals would run us another 40 or 50 bucks - I'd
like to not spend money we don't have to.
