Not so good that we can not begin to set up until 5:00 pm. That could make for a late night on Friday. Did he say how late the exhibit hall is open that night for setup? I will still plan to get there by 3:00 pm so that at least we can start to get the tables and table cloths set up in advance.
Based on the wording of “Frank”‘s statement, I took it to mean “you’re literally in front of the drive-in door” – as in, you can’t even set up a table because people will be driving right through your space all day. But maybe I’m mistaken. (good news: if I’m not mistaken and that is the case, it’ll mean we’re the first to tear down & get out of there… then again, everyone would be pressuring us to hurry and get out of their way…)
