Just a thought ... SRA/CP are willing to put together a booth that, as far
as I've read, is meant for the .ORG ... why not accept the .Org booth
itself, and use the money saved from the booth cost for other expenses?  I
don't know how much the booth space itself costs, so not sure how much of
a different it would make, but, for instance, maybe the 'cost of the booth
itself' could be used (assuming it is allowed) to get a "big blue elephant
ballon" made that either floats (or hangs) over the booth so that you see
if from a distance, even if you aren't right beside the booth ... or
something like that?

Instead of two booths, have one, but make it much more visible ... ?
