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

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.

Please order from my website

As you can see from my previous post, I'm in more than a bit of a bind. If you've been thinking about ordering buttons and/or bumperstickers, please come to my site and order them. If you know anyone who might like my buttons or could just use some entertainment from reading the slogans, please send them to my site.

If you can think of a store (probably a bookstore or a gaming store, though I'm open to other possibilities) who might be interested in carrying buttons, please let me know, and likewise if you're interested in huckstering my buttons.

They're a remarkably entertaining product--it's just that my luck and/or instincts and/or judgement don't seem to have been working especially well lately.

Shipping instructions for Worldcon dealers

Does anyone happen to have them? I need to know about fees, address, and policies. There doesn't seem to be anything about them in my dealer's packet and it's a little vague on the Annaheim convention center website.
