Loving the boiler plate idea.   I think I need a ground-up rework, maybe 
for the February Con.

What happened was I went through it to highlight all the "change" sections, 
in a separate copy, so I would know what to hit, and their are dates and 
names everywhere!

Another idea is to use a merge-macro type thing, which I think I can 
handle.. but boiler plate easier.

Friday opening...  initially not in favor of it.   Many Exhibitors don't 
even show up until 5PM or later, after their regular work, their drive 
down, and/or stores close.  Even the early birds are sometime still working 
at 5PM.  There have been times were 10PM we are telling people they gotta 
get out, we are tired... finish in morning!   So besides Exhibitors having 
to man the booths late (after a potential full days regular work and 
setup), we would have people moving is stuff, cards, loose merchandise, 
boxed stuff.  Can't see it working out.

Then there are some who show up first thing Saturday - they might be 
cheesed about the missed opportunity.

Something else we talked about was an earlier opening Saturday, even 
9:30.   There are so many events that start at 10AM, so we often open to a 
handful of people who are rushing to get something and off to a game.  It 
funny how I see 20 people milling around between 9-10am, then open the 
doors to 5 people!

Thanks for the help and input so far!
