Brick Palooza Recap


 This was a very interesting show.  A one day show on a Saturday in Santa Rosa, CA.  Because of the tear down timing of only 2 hours.  We decided to remove two hangers or two complete slices, which saved six boxes.  This also meant less work on setup and trying to keep things from prying apart at the table seam.

But first you have to get there.

And while it was not that bad coming across the Sierra Nevada, it did slow things down.

By the time we got to Santa Rosa things were getting deep.

The small creek behind the hotel.  While it never got any higher than this, it made transport challenging.  Out of the three roads in to the hotel, two were flooded and closed.  And the road in front of the hotel was reduced to one lane.

Such is life in Northern California during the rainy season.

Typical setup.  The drape covered tables are where the MOCs will be.  The other area on either side is for vendors.


Here is the final setup.  You will notice that it is one slice shorter on each side.  For one day shows, this will probably be the standard going forward.



We did not have time to really go around and look.  Most people setup in the morning since their displays were small.  Here are some of the more interesting ones.





I really like how this dish antenna was done.


More about this one in the next post.

I have a lot of pictures stored up for posts I want to do in the next few weeks.  We will see if life will accommodate me.
