fantastic!

I can bring a single 100ft, 12 Gauge extension cord and a Costco 3000-pack of red-plastic cups.

I can bring: 1) Corkboard for messages 2) Heavy Duty Trash Bags

Last I checked Paul Grasshoff had a huge bell.

I have a digital projector but I don't have a screen :(
Like wise I have a speaker or two but no mic/mixer that can be used :(

scratch that, not sure what days and times I'll be there.

I'm planning to go tomorrow to set up. Can I bring some of your stuff and take care of it during the conference?

I'll bring a Gong. It's about 12-inch diameter. Not sure it's the right size for whatever purpose?

Great! Bring the gong! I'll bring my big brass bell. We have multiple stages.

It will be about 11:00PM by the time I arrive Long Beach. Just for you know. Thanks.

I have some 3ft wide rolls of computer paper would that Help?

I am bringing Saturday morning four super large lounge folding chairs with six cup holders I might add...

If anyone needs me to pick up something at Weird Stuff Warehouse in Sunnyvale...I am currently staying at the Hotel Zico (On El Camino Real) in Mountain View.
