22 Apr Wpb Set up instructions by Shel Silverstein
Subject: Where the Booths All Stand (Now With Numbers So You Don’t Wander Off)
Dealers,
There is a place where the palm trees lean
And numbers tell you where you’ve been
And if you read them nice and slow
You’ll always know just where to go.
SET-UP DAY
Thursday, April 23
8:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Because Friday at 9 they’ll flood the floor
And ready beats rushing—every time, every door.
WHERE YOUR SPACE LIVES (by number, by name, by fate)
Spaces 1–192 — West Expo
The big, bright hall where ceilings climb
And long aisles stretch in measured time
If your number falls in this parade
West Expo is where you’re laid
Enter at Gate 12
Spaces 299–400 — Buildings 6–10
A run of halls, connected tight
With steady flow from left to right
If your number’s here, don’t overthink
6 through 10 is your missing link
Enter at Gate 8
“P” Spaces — In Front of West Expo
Right out front where the action starts
Where first impressions play their parts
If you’re a “P,” you’re out in view
Where buyers arrive and pass right through
(Follow signs and staff direction on arrival)
A, B, C, and T Spaces — Outdoors Behind West Expo & Buildings 6–10
Back where the breeze and the good stuff lives
Where the hunt begins and the deal still gives
If you’ve got a letter instead of a number
You’re out back where the aisles all wander
(Follow the signs—they’ll lead you true)
Now here’s a thing that tricks the eye
So listen close and don’t ask why
A bigger room may look less tight
But space can play a funny sight
Customers split through every door
West Expo… 6–10… and outdoor
They come, they go, they loop, they roam
No booth is left out there alone
So own your space wherever you stand
And make it the best in all the land.
THE GATES (and the one that isn’t yours)
Gate 12 — West Expo
Gate 8 — Buildings 6–10
Gate 10 — not for you
(It never works. It never will. Some lessons stay unlearned still.)
THE DISPATCH LINE (your only friend for things you lack)
If you need a table, wall, or light
A showcase shining just right
Do not chase staff, don’t go explore
Don’t knock, don’t wander to the office door
Call or text: 561-410-2560
During set-up hours—that’s what to do
Not before you’re here, not after you’re gone
Not early, not late, not dusk, not dawn
(The system remembers. We… move on.)
FINAL NOTES FROM A BUSY PLACE
This show has grown, it’s plain to see
West Expo, 6–10, and outside makes three
With outdoor vendors tying it tight
And buyers flowing left and right
There’s food to eat and drinks to pour
And reasons to stay a little more
So build it strong and build it clean
Make it the best it’s ever been
Because somewhere soon a buyer will say
“That’s the one—I’ll take it today.”
See you Thursday,
