This is why I want to be near friendlies, I want to know that my stuff is somewhat safe in case I need to abandon my post for any reason. Well that and maybe for idle conversation during the slow hours.

@crazymike: Usually people at cons behind the table are friendly. You usually get to know complete strangers when you sit next to them for like 6 hours ^_^

Did anyone figure out an idea for getting tables near each other or do I just have to hope for the best O_o?

Solution.. get there early =S

Yeah I get that but how does that stop someone else from grabbing the table next to you? Or if BAAU isn't there the first day, then can you move if BAAU ends up being positioned elsewhere?

about one to two weeks, I think. Did you want a table too? It might be squishy with alfred and bruce in one table, and I doubt I'll have much room on my table now that I'm trying to sell off my tshirts and now a new comic. Or maybe we can both combine tables and somehow you can squish between all of us...

@tofu - you can get a permit in person at any of the Board of Equalization offices, there's one in downtown Oakland at 1515 Clay St. right behind City Hall.

- getting tables adjacent shouldn't be a issue. most everyone who goes to this convention is local anyway so those stuck between baaufolk shall become baaufolk.

- I actually won't need much table space at all myself since I'm leaving for LA right after the convention so squeezing in is definitely feasible as well.
