AND the forum. AND other people's forums.

Also considering they are planning to start the field trip art some 
gawd-awful early hour! :-) Everyone who is not local, and many that are, 
will be staying over Thursday. But I think that if they're going to 
drink our sodas and munch on our chips, then they need to help with 
last-minute chores. Bagging, stapling, whatever.

Don't forget the sales table. That was great, but we need to find 
someone local to take over. We could pay a couple of spouses or something.

Registration is only hard when you make it hard. Like forgetting to log 
everyone's address and then panicking when GG asks you for them, and 
trying to fix it without letting GG know you screwed up, and then 
ignoring 50% of the fixes, which took a certain someone an entire day to 
make, and then that certain someone had to apologize repeatedly for 
wrong name tags. Whew. I guess I'm still not over THAT! sorry...

Maybe someone local has some large teenagers to help cart things around 
and help Erik set up and tear down. I have a better handle on the web 
stuff now, so I can help there.

Funny you should mention that. Barbara works for Bennigans, and might 
could get us some blank wholesale t-shirts at a very nice price. I was 
going to see about having the logo printed on some black shirts (Gary 
Bagnall wants black). But I suspect that our logo has WAY too many 
colors. Plus, I'm not sure what Larry's going to think about everyone 
wearing his face. :-) A new t-shirt design would be great. Want me to 
ask Ricky? (If we ask Ricky, he'll tell me that he doesn't want to put 
the lace plant in it.)
