You are all very welcome. It seems they are all arriving safe and sound. <BR>
<BR>
Magnus, I never carried more than 10 at a time from the IDW booth to Sergio's table. After packaging, I took them to the post office in two batches using a hand truck that Sergio had. <BR>
<BR>
Just as I was starting the second run to the PO, a Con Volunteer tried to stop me from wheeling the hand truck through the crowd. Fortunately, George had suggested I get permission from the "Freemen" who were in charge of that kind of thing, which I had done, so it all worked out. The Con Volunteer blustered a bit, but I've been dealing with guys like that for over 30 years, so it really wasn't much of a problem. A bureaucrat by any other name...<BR>
<BR>
Take care all, Gary G. <BR> <BR>
