Too funny! I can't remember the last time I spoke on the phone for that long. Time flies when you're having fun. Good times.

The only thing I can add to what has already been said is for you to set up your display up at home than stand back and look at it. Remember that people will be 2 to 4 feet away so be sure they can read your signage. Be sure you have identified everything. Than take it all down and pack it away. After a day or two take it all out and set it up again. Do this a couple of times so when you get to the show you will be confident in what you are doing and how it is supposed to fit and look. There is a lot going on at the show and it is easy to get distracted so I have always found that setting up and taring down at home a couple of times helps.

I hope that everyone understands RCA memorabilia being shown at a ROCS show. I consider these items part of our memorabilia "history". In time, I'm certain I'll have more from ROCS. If me showing some of these items is an issue please let me know via pm so as not to offend anyone and I'll modify the display.

Agree with Coogs, we are not into " them vs. us." Plenty of room for everybody. Most if not all of the ROCS Leadership are RCA life members. I still buy every special issue gun they put out.

I can get on board with that! If we make the 10 AM early setup, is there an unloading area close to our lower level section? Basically, how far am I going to be transporting this display from my vehicle?
