I did ask. He said there were set hours, but he didn't know what they
were. I think I remember him saying he hadn't asked yet, but don't quote
me on that.

... I just found the Exibitor info pdf on their site though,
(http://www.govtech.net/gtc/gtcMedia/GTCWest2004ExhibitorInformation.pdf)
which says setup is Monday 1pm-5pm (for booths smaller than 300 sq. ft.,
which I'm assuming includes us) and Tues 11am-7pm for "Self-unloading".
So, I think noon-ish Tuesday would still be best.

That would be great.

I'd been to one meeting before that (Don Marti speaking on the DMCA) but
I didn't go for food afterwards, so we only met very breifly.
