Some of the smaller banquets are much faster. Which one were you going to?

Albany NY one, I don't think it's particularly small :

It’s really good sized. Probably 120-140 attending. It just takes a bit longer to go through the amount of prizes and stuff like we do for 220-240. Not better or worse. Just different

Happy to see the banquet is still on!  I panicked  when I saw an email about it.

Sounds like the whole situation is being handled appropriately and responsibly by the coordinators. 

Although recommendations be damned, I plan on shaking a few people's hands tomorrow.

I plan on standing near the gun board coughing my brains out and sweating profusely (as I always do).  Hoping it gives me a slight advantage as the only buyer of a ticket for each round.

Solid plan right there.

My wife will probably make me and my son shower immediately as soon as we get home Saturday night.

Did you look over the gun board and mentally put them in order?
