or even less, knowing that if they are not legal citizens they probably
won't have any recourse.  I by no means am a friend of unions, but I do
understand the dynamics.  $30 here and there, plus booth rental, is not
much to pay in the grand scheme of things.  We are getting heating
and/or air-conditioning, lighting, 24 hour security, and convenience
plus a venue with an interested audience, not to mention plenty of stuff
thats interesting to us.

I'll be stopping by, I'd officially volunteer, but I have no idea yet as
to when I will be there.
