I can tell you have put on events as well. Yes, it is anything but a walk in
the park. Which is easy to tell by just putting up a booth at a show.
Everything possible will go wrong. Power will be missing, you'll end up in a

not show up. It's astounding what a challenge that is. Never mind putting up
a whole show!
