Ok if you are going to twist my arm, I will help out when I can. Just let me know when it gets a little closer when you need me and I will work it out.

That's the spirit!! Thanks!
If you would like, I can help from 1100-1600 or so Friday and 0900 till about 1400ish on Saturday.
Planning on being there all weekend again, just like Novi. And, yes, Veronica will be with me.
I could probably take a shift if ya need me. Thurs or Fri would be best - we can negotiate times. Let me know
As soon as I put up a schedule, I will let you guys take a look at it. Thanks!
I'll be there all day in Friday working in the TBF booth. I'm sure I can wander over a couple times Dan.

Does that mean you'll stay and talk a few fish stories with some of the visitors?

Don't know if I can afford you for that many hours?? ;D But I will pencil you in and appreciate the help. I will have two stools. We'll be a little crowded again but going to work to keep it less packed than the Ultimate Fishing Show.
If you want to show your video, we can probably move the TV down a little and put it at the end so you can talk to people who stop to watch it. I will talk to you before the show.
Hey Lt. Dan,
I have a couple of commitments for the show, but if you have a schedule and need some help let me know. I'm close by so keep me in mind.
I will. I think I will be a little short on help right now for this one, but I'll know for sure after I do the schedule tomorrow night when I get home from the underwater seminar.
Very sorry Dan, but you'll have to take me off your list of possible helpers. The boss tells me we're taking the kids up north for the weekend so I will be gone Fri-Sun.
Maybe I should talk to her... jk have fun with them before they start wanting to borrow money and the car... or boat (if you're lucky)
Kimmel,
I will be there all weekend, Thursday through Sunday open to close. I'm sure Wayne would be willing to share me with you, if you need some help over there. As long as he doesn't have a seminar it shouldn't be a big deal. Just let me know either a head of time or at the show, short notice should be fine too.
Cy
That would be great Cy. I will look at his seminar schedule.
Hey, what's up Dan?! Is this payback for the Outdoorama thing?
Actually my coverage for GR is good thanks to the MSU Fishing Team, Capt. David Hasty and more but you're right that things can get a little thin during seminars. Thursday will probably be the thinnest. My booth is 2052, I'm not sure what yours is but the show usually puts our two booths near each other. Make sure you have extra sign up pads when he is covering your booth because Cy's spe-ci-al-ity is getting the word out.

Hah! Good luck! (LOL)
I could probably take some time off Thur afternoon if either of you (Dan or Wayne) need coverage. I should really stay workin (since i'm swamped) but I'll be on standby in case you're in a bind - let me know.
Dan, you know I will come around and share some fish stories! I might be able to spend a few afternoons hanging around... kind of depends on how busy we are in the store (we were really busy today!).

You're just down the lane from me. It shows you with a 20 foot booth. Thought you had 30 footer?
As far as signup slips, I have about 525 left so we should be able to keep Cy busy for a while anyway...
Pretty skimpy showing of helpers. 1300 people on this site, and 6 people offer to help at the booth? Come on guys, lend a hand. Its loads of fun and, you might learn something. I know I have.

Don't worry Mike. Had some personal stuff come up yesterday so I did not get the schedule finalized but we have plenty of coverage for the show. I will finalize it tonight after work. Thanks for being a spirit leader.
LOL leader, schmeader. I just want to meet more of the people on here.
I don't know... I like the sound of 'spirit leader'
Does it come with a special heading after my name? LOL
Like SPDQ or something?
Okay. The schedule is looking pretty good EXCEPT for opening until evening Thursday. Right now I could probably use 1 person from opening at 3pm until 5pm depending on one other person who may be able to help at 5pm for a while.
That should do it. Thanks everyone.

I'll see if I can get my room a day early or another hotel since there is the shuttle, and if Paula's ok with everything for an extra day. I'll know by lunch tomorrow and let you know.
Great if you can but don't knock yourself out. I need to call you tomorrow for a few minutes also. Hope I remember. Later in the day.
Looks like I have coverage for the beginning of the show Thursday now. Thanks.
