  • our booth location, whether we can sell stuff at the table, load in/out instructions, power & provided furnishings at the booth
  • Confirm we have transportation to/from the event (may need a van)
• If held at protohaven, reserve all tools that shouldn't be operated during the event. Also consider catering

Build a booth that attracts people! Like a laser cut silhouette of a sewing machine with a needle going up and down. A hammer that rotates and hits an anvil, or something.
