Getting ready to drive up to Unity for this year's fair. I'll leave by 10 tomorrow morning, earlier if possible. For the past 2 years I've intended to leave early and have left quite late, setting up in the dark. Our first year we left pretty early, but our booth "design" was so complex (read: I had the brilliant idea to make our booth taller than everyone else's, the result of which was (a) a failed experiment and (b) tension with our neighbors over the possibility of the booth falling down on them) and I had never set up for a show before, so we ended set-up in the dark.

Not this year. I'm leaving early, I more or less know what I'm doing, I have a skilled helper and I have lists. Possibly a few too many lists, but it's so far making my prep and packing much easier. And again, this year, I'll make a list at the fair of all the things I forgot and wish I could do next year (i.e. have bumpers stickers to give away).

In the meantime, the list is king. Blog before the fair, check.
