Yeah I was glad Tim was there to get it sorted all out, at one point I really thought we were gonna end up all leaving without setting up anything. So I was not impressed with the level of organization there. I don’t know how much Greenberg is paying us to display but I did notice they’re returning to Monroeville in January, I don’t know if we’re signed up for that one too or if we were waiting to see how this one goes first.
So we did get set up in the end and it did look good when I left. But all that discussion of where to put the tables seriously cut into our setup time, I wasn’t able to get as many guys on as I’d planned, and I didn’t have time to fix everything that broke in transit.
I think the LUG having our own stanchions is a good idea, but I’m not sure it would’ve helped us in this case. Space was seriously tight there and one of the main concerns was proper aisle width for fire safety, which is something you don’t mess with. I don’t think there was room for stanchions in certain directions off the display, possibly not in any, depending on how the other groups got put back. So I think if we want them for future events, we need to let the event coordinators know as part of the table layout so they can plan for that.
There was still a lot of setup to do this morning and I’m anxious to see the whole thing set up. I don’t know if anybody is checking the board but if you read my post and wanna post a pic or two here, I’d like to see it, I won’t be able to make it back over there til tomorrow afternoon. Also still waiting for any baby news, last I heard they’re on high alert over there, but no baby yet.
