Consider that we 'get nothing but a booth', I'd accept the booth and put
nothing in it by a sign pointing to the man'd booth :)

Personally, we shoudl accept the .Org booth regardless of whether the
Commercial one is setup ... if we *don't*, the offer may not be made next
year, since we obviously didn't need it ...
