Map of The World's Fair

What we have here is success, to communicate. Dave and I want to map out the site, and use a map to do it, and so a map it is. It's not just a metaphor, people. It's also an image. It's not just an image, it's also a guide. We're trying to get our stuff together, so this will help us wend our way through the place.

    Of course, we'll need to let folks know where the bathroom is... I'm sure that's a category where a lot of our stuff should probably go in the end.
