I'm not sure what my hours are going to be but I'll be spending more time at the booth then I will anywhere else at the
conference.I'll be in town as of Tuesday night for the whole week.
The one event that I do know already that I want time out for is the book author's signing on Wednesday evening; I'm
goingas a Dru Lavigne groupie :-), http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/bsdhks/chapter/index.html

What about the other things about the booth i.e. table, power cords, lighting etc. I know it's being handled but not by
whom.How far along is it?
