>> Greetings,
>> This is your informational email for tabling at the East Bay Anarchist
>> Book Fair. It will tell you most of what you need to know to get through
>> Saturday. Volunteers and organizers will be milling around to help all day
>> long, and are identifiable by their name tags. If you need anything please
>> flag one of them down and we will do what we can for you.
>>
>> First up. There was some confusion about this last year, so we want to
>> clarify the issue this year. There are no free tables at the East Bay
>> Anarchist Book Fair. We have chosen to adopt the percentage model, as used
>> at The Montreal Anarchist Book Fair successfully for almost 15 years. We
>> will not ask for payment in advance. We will come around late in the day on
>> Saturday and ask to collect 10% of your sales. If you are an organization
>> that does not sell anything or asks for donations or does sales under $200,
>> then we require a minimum of $20. So please be prepared. We will come
>> around about 4:30 or so to remind people and then check back in with each
>> table around 5:30. If you are not tabling but receiving this email please
>> tell those who will be tabling. Last year a few organizations did not pay
>> stating they "did not know" payment was required. That response will not be
>> acceptable this year. Anyone who does not pay this year will not be
>> eligible to table next year. And we will grimace at you. A lot.
>>
>> The other thing to give you a heads up about is that we are encouraging
>> Halloween costumes and would like to give out prizes for the best costumes.
>> We are going to come around and ask people if they would like to donate
>> something to the prize vault. Perhaps you will have an item or two that you
>> would be happy to give!
>>
>> On to the logistics of the day. The book fair opens to the public at
>> 10am, doors open for you at 8:30am. There are 27 tables, and we are at
>> capacity. Selection is first come first serve. There is a great deal of
>> wall space and outlets at regular intervals along the two long walls. You
>> should bring your own power strips/extension cords if you anticipate
>> needing power. There is wi-fi in the hall.
>>
>> We will have the area in front of the hall on 27th Street blocked off,
>> for unloading and free hands to help you carry your wares. There is free
>> parking on both sides of 27th Street. However, technically there is a two
>> hour limit, Humanist hall says the city generally does not enforce this. We
>> will have volunteers check periodically during the day to see if cars are
>> being marked. There is a small parking lot behind the Hall on 28th Street,
>> that will hold roughly a dozen cars, where it is safe to park all day. The
>> helpers outside can direct you to this lot and it will be marked so you
>> can't miss it. Again, parking here will be first come first serve.
>>
>> Each tabler gets a standard-six-foot-book-fair-table and two chairs. We
>> can provide additional chairs upon request. We will do what we can to make
>> the day as comfortable and as enjoyable for you as possible. There will be
>> volunteers on hand to watch your table if you need a break or want to spend
>> time enjoying the event.
>>
>> There will be coffee available on a limited basis to tablers and
>> conversation holders until early afternoon. In terms of food, there are
>> several small neighborhood places, and a Whole Foods about a third of a
>> mile east on 27th Street. About a mile south on Broadway is downtown
>> Oakland and Chinatown and about a mile northeast is a small business
>> district on Piedmont Avenue. Each of these areas has quite a number of
>> restaurants. More information about this will be available on Saturday at
>> the info table.
>>
>> Tabling is scheduled to go until 6pm. Again there will be volunteers
>> available to help carry and load you back to your vehicle if you require
>> it. After tabling is over there will be karaoke and everyone is encouraged
>> to attend.
>>
>> The complete schedule for the day can be found online at

>> The complete list of tablers can be found at
