I'll reach out to the lady who gave us a deal on our table last year. We'll definitely have to pay for our spot, but hopefully they give us a deal again since we're not a business that's selling anything.

We ought to bring Phil's scanning rig. Maybe we can get some press for scanning and printing the morning show hosts at the show.

[BeeAmaker]

I'm in as long as we can get a discounted price. It's fun and good exposure.

[ZionPhil]

Why don't we ask to bring SeeMe's Scanning rig. We are advertising all of their gear anyways, they should pitch in. This was the one used to scan Sam. It uses Reconstruct ME and a special software to run the motors for the turntable and the tilting of the Kinect.

[BeeAmaker]

Sounds good, did you ask them?

[ZionPhil]

No, but I will.

I was offered a table for $300. Take it or beg them for a better deal?

Beg first, then deal
Maybe we can split it 4 ways???

[jimustanguitar]

They can do $250. The Century Center charges each booth $50 for electricity that WRBR can't bargain away...

I was in it for $100 last year, as long as Glenn and at least one other person is willing to split it, I think I can swing it again. 

[BeeAmaker]

Count me in! Since this is coming up next, I think we need to talk a bit about it this Thursday. When do you need the cash?

[jimustanguitar]

We didn't have to cough up the cash until the day of the show last year. Good plan, let's talk about it this week after your Fritzing demo!

[jimustanguitar]

So... Man Up is in a week. Time to figure out who's going, and who's helping Glenn and I pay for it.

Role call!

John told me SeeMe was in, I'll try to verify.

Make sure they understand that the rate we got our table at was a non-profit rate. If they bring their toys, they need to be there as MakerHive members first.

Are they helping to sponsor our table?

[ZionPhil]

The scanning rig doesn't belong to them. It belongs to Doug Miller. Email from Steve "Doug Miller can make the call. It's his 'baby'. Some of it is fragile, mostly in danger of breaking electro connections. Doug would have to help.
Doug is Melanie's husband at my shop.
