I DEMAND VESTS. Also, I can probably make myself free on Friday and I've got the pickup truck, so I can haul all things. 

For tech stuff, I'd say one of the 32" TV's would be sufficient (if one could be made free), 1 projector and say 6 laptops (4 for interactions + 1 to power tv + 1 to power projector)? Or at least 4 laptops and a couple chromebooks/similar.  I've got a gigabit switch I can drag along, hopefully we'll have wired Internet (Stephen, did we request wired internet? Can we do so now if we havent already).  Oh, and power strips, the bigger the better.

I might be able to ;) I don't know if I can come up with 20 to give away.... but I can certainly come up with a bunch. More people wearing "I edit" shirts is better on all sides!

Unless you want the polos of course, I'd almost pay you to take those off of my hands... I mean those are amazing you know you want them

Another thought: do we have any large-format photos of wikipedians in
action that we could display? like meetup photos or the wikipedia 10
photos? One thing we've never really had is a display about the global
projects. It would be nice to have something that really focuses on
the community as well as the projects.

p.s. James you are going to get us shirts to wear instead of the
vests.... right? right?
