Well, in the original mail the word 'podest' was used. I tried to look 
that up and found pedestal, which I'm still not sure what it is.
Somehow I think it's a 'standing table' where people can hang at (at 
least I hope it is).

That's why I thought it would be useful to have a real table to put 
something behind. I will ask clarification from the organisation.

Right. I'm going to make a drawing to have a better spatial view of 
the booth.

I retrofitted it into the mailinglist without permission !
Man, I love the insecurity of SMTP to allow for that :)
