Yeah, we generally get good traffic at the show, and they are very
welcoming of having the Haiku presence.

Yes, I know, like I said, I'd bill Haiku 1 or 2 nights...likely just
one, depending on if I make it home that same evening as the expo.

Yes, in an email reply to my initial email that apparently disappeared
in the ether, I mentioned that the prospectus has the cost for a
DotOrg as 100 dollars.  I also confirmed that electricity will be free
for us as long as I don't wait a week or two to turn in a completed
contract.  I plan on turning it in later today or Monday depending on
feedback.

Hmm, so maybe that email did make it through?...or else you just did
some math yourself.  But yeah, 14 cents per mile would be about 57
dollars.

Yes, that is accurate.  I'll try to keep it right around/below 300
though.  I'd like to keep it low cost as well, for sure.
