Yup we can get in at 12:30. I think Erich is planning on getting you there
by then and a few of us will meet you. We have a box of extension cords
and power strips but if we need any more I can run out and grab them with
plenty of time to spare. If anyone is bringing extras let me know!
See you all soon,
Jeff
