[Deptheads] Final numbers

[Jim Sandoval]

Too bad there isn't an Ikea near by. But how about asking around at other
events to see how they handle it. There might be ideas out there we havn't
thought of or resources we are unaware of. Liability and overhead are a
huge concern, but I would like to konw how events like KublaCon go about
providing such a service.
