As a two time overnight shift veteran, I highly recommend the job. I have a conflict this year, but I would do it again. You get to spend a night with the pumpkins and look at all the different ones. You can have a private showing for those few friends that Peter mentioned. There is power and wireless internet in the tent, so you can stream tv shows or surf the net. Just make sure to bring some warm clothes in case it gets chilly, and you too can have a fun night of urban camping. Guarding is not hard, it just consists of asking a few drunk people not to come into the tent.<div>

All,<div>I still have not found any volunteers to do the overnight shift guarding pumpkins in the tent on Friday. Can anybody do it? Or can you quickly spread the word among your friends that we need somebody willing to spend a night under the tent, perhaps socializing with a few friends? This is a key job, and usually is filled by now.</div>
