It's not like you don't have a few grey plates to compensate with. :-)

The tables are 2'x8', so $40 would give us a good chuck more space
than we have with the existing tables. The cost shouldn't be an
issue due to the "gate-share" cheque - the better our display, the
more votes, the bigger the cheque. The tables are what take most of
the room in the van and are the main pain with setup and tear-down.
I'd rather spend several hours setting up a van full of LEGO, than
half the time and half the LEGO with all the extra table hassle.
Besides, the tables there would probably be lower to the ground,
and that's going to make all those "shorter viewers" happier, not
to mention easing the strain on parents shoulders. :-)
By the way, are you going to be able to get Friday the 16th off
from work? We're able to start setup at 15:00, which means leaving
here after lunch. If we don't get there till 19:00 or 20:00, we
only have a couple hours for setup.
