I'll be there to pick up my tripod (hopefully)...
I'll stand up, so won't need a seat :-)

Nah, he means that we admins, mods, and senior members (the really senior legendary members) don't have to book... we can turn up and be outside the 20 person limit. :)

Ah... the fringe benefits of being a little big man... *turns into Dustin Hoffman*
