The Internet connectivity issue caught us by surprise just a couple days before the Fest.
We would need about 175-200 feet of coax to reach the outside via the service corridor adjacent to the exhibit space; we could then use a lawn area adjacent to the loading dock. Just didn't have time to sort that out ahead of time. Good points, Mike -- thanks!
