The dealer's room is lockable space. Fan/art tables usually do not have to be lockable (unless they're selling a significant number of prints), because they can easily pick their stuff up at take it back to their room. This also means they can man the table when the dealer's room would otherwise be closed, if they want to. We can set up fan tables and artist tables in the corridors. Probably what we could do is say that if you buy a 4 foot dealer package (that's your $50 above), we can give you a standalone 6 foot outside the dealer's room. More space, but not lockable. Still, it means more flexibility in the setup/teardown schedule... In part I'm trying to reduce the congestion in the dealer's room. We will have a finite amount of space in there, if we do it right... It is, however, your area. If you _want_ everything in the dealer's room, that's your call. Rob
