They (the rest of the booth) like us. They liked us showing up for
our shifts, nobody was obnoxious, we gave out nice T shirts and CD's, and
we helped with the Linux notebooks that efn's people provided the booth.
They really loved that everybody was on hand for their assigned shifts.

Smaller boxes, this was mostly my fault, I really hadn't
considered that if I took the biggest box we had it'd be a pain to schlep
any distance.

I think it went well, until I get feedback from others I won't
know for sure. The other Doors of Expression (Communications Booth) people
made approving noises. "The Wonderful Gift of Linux" was very popular,
people LIKED that ripoff, and who it was ripped off from (I put one into
every CD I got to the fair), and so was Thomas's info sheet. While we may
have some Redhat T's left, that's the most notable dent in our supplies, I
know we gave out more than a few CD's, but we had enough that the dent
isn't obvious. We still have grunches of Team Linux shirts. All the Tux's
disappeared, wish I'd remembered to bring the ones I left here.
Of course, the proof will be obvious if we find it's
overwhelmingly crowded Thursday night, less obvious if we just get a few
strangers showing.
