Attention DFW people...

[telophase]

...are you coming to ConDFW? Can you help me haul art show stuff on either Thursday night or Friday morning? I am in DESPERATE NEED of 2-3 people capable of lifting things and possibly a pickup truck (although I can rent a U-Haul if necessary). The art show setup needs to be gotten and set up before 2PM Friday.

Ouch: that's definitely going to be a problem for me. I might be able to get some free time on Thursday night: do we meet you at the hotel, or where?

I won't be rolling in until sometime Friday afternoon. If you still need help after I get there, I'm certainly willing to help.

Thanks - I'll make the final call on the day later tonight: I've had two people who would be better off on Friday morning tentatively volunteer, so it mostly depends on when I can get a truck.

(thinking out loud: The art show stuff is in Garland, not incredibly far from what I understand, and I'm assuming I'll have to rent a U-Haul, but the closest U-Haul places closes at 7PM (although I just looked and saw that I can rent a truck or cargo van for 24 hours for the same price as the 3 hours I was originally planning - I'll have to call and see if I could pick up up later in teh afternoon and start the 24 hours then). I think in an ideal world I'd pick the stuff up on Thursday night and put it together Friday morning.)

Drop by the art show and see: we may still be putting the mail-in art up at that point. :D

Would you be able to show up about 7:30? I've got a pickup truck and driver who's got to pick up badnoddles from the airport on a 5:45 flight and deliver her to the hotel, and I think that gives enough time for baggage and whatnot.

I'd need you more for getting the poles and panels and unloading them into the hotel than any sort of setup, since I have people willing to help me set up on Friday. (The driver of the truck can't do heavy lifting.) If badnoodles doesn't already have plans, she might be along to help as well, but she may already be committed Thursday night.

Unfortunately, I don't even get off work until 8, so the absolute earliest I could get there would be close to 9:30, as I'd have to bike home and then get my car. Does that help at all?

Let me find out from the guy with the key to the storage facility how late he can be there.

9:30 seems to be fine - I told the guy we'd be at the storage facility 9:45/10, and he's OK with that. He'll be calling me about then to ensure that we're on time.
