Hit the gym at 6:15am, so proud of myself. Later got a start on the final AV how-to document, on our microphone system. Then at 10 left for FOPAL where I met up with Frank and began packing boxes of books into Fred. Finally had 19 boxes, so the Forester really is an SUV. The Prius only held 16. (Prius is a stealth SUV.) With help from John and Henry and Jennie we got all the boxes down to the Computer Museum and schlepped them on hand-trucks up to the 2nd floor. Then Frank and I made a start at laying books out in some kind of rough organization, programming languages at one end, hardware at the other. Here’s a picture Henry took about half way done.
We’ve got way more books and boxes of software and shit to fit on the tables, but that’s all right. Oh and then Erik, who organizes the Vintage Computer Fest, came by with two large boxes of books that he thought we could sell. Surprise, one of his boxes had three books by some dude named Cortesi!
Anyway I was back to CH around 4, rather wiped out. Tomorrow we get an early start, finish organizing and laying stuff out for when the show opens at 10am.
Funny, the CHM volunteer guy put out an email looking for docents for this busy weekend. Sorry, dude, I’ll be busy upstairs.
