Not quite on my way to worldcon, living the Cold Equations

[nancylebov]

When my ride got here, it turned out that we really should have thought about weight and volume a little earlier. The car (a Nissan Maxima) can't carry the whole business , even a somewhat shrunken version, and three passengers.

At this rate, I can't bring all my trays, and I'll have very limited ability to restock.

It would take 48 hours to get a trailer hitch, and the weight of the hitch and the trailer would eliminate any advantage gained by the extra volume.

It might have been possible to borrow my housemate's car, but while it has more room, it doesn't can't carry any more weight.

If I had an experienced person to run my business at Worldcon, I'd send the business and not go myself. Are any of my loyal staff going to be there?

If anyone has any other ideas, please let me know.

Addendum: If there's anyone who's coming from Philadelphia who's willing to take a box or two. please let me know.

Thanks for the thought. It's better to send a more complete set-up than to try to finetune it. I can explain the reasoning later.

At this point, I'm researching the possibility of renting a larger vehicle. No matter what, I'm not going to do much more than break even, I think, and I really needed to do better than that.
