BG thank you for the first good laugh of the day! Just calling the monkey "Sir" . . . oh that's funny!
Yeah, you grasped the puppetmaster situation correctly. And absolutely, you're going to get to know us and vice-versa a WHOLE lot better Last year the night before a good sized group of us hung out at a campfire and shot the breeze. A "mixer" is definitely going to happen, organized or not.
As far as the dept to work in obviously do a first aid tent with crash next to crafty dans build tent so that way we can help with that when not needed.
. . . so apparently you didn't see the pics of last year's First Aid tent:

There were a handful of radios walking the line and the volunteers were encouraged to keep an eye out for anything needing aid and move it up to a radio as quickly as possible. The "first aid" area became a bit of a ghost town, partially because the events were minor and infrequent, but more because issues were handled on the spot not at a "tent". This year, we might move the "spot" to one corner of the build area, so getting someone's attention will be easy, then give you guys a tent to go to work in a few steps away, in case you need it. (yes, Monkey, that's my thinly veiled ploy to fold the EMT guys into my build team . . . Muhahaahahahhah!!!)
