I hadn't even thought about a booth,but.... I was just thinking about a
presence in the way the notacon folks in the yellow teeshirts had a
presence. You noticed them, and noticed they were part of some group,
and they were all there. Maybe just get some teeshirts made up so
whoever from Fort Wayne, or LoCo, or whatever we might want to be 
identified as, we could be identified as connected. Plus, since I have
never met any of you, and you the same wrt me, something simple like
that could help us figure out who we are, if the representation from
Indiana included folks from around the state...... Just me grinding the 
teeth off the gears in my head, FWIW.
