My folding chair hookup fell thru. Does anyone have access to a bunch of folding chairs?
8/26 01:05 chair update: I've got 20 chairs of various kinds (almost all my stackable and folding house concert chairs) packed in the station wagon for Saturday. -- Doug G.
These kind people contributed in some way or another to help BarCampDenver happen.
