    There is a cloisonn=E9 jewelry artist I have met at shows that flies
    to most of her events. She packs all her work in her carry on bag. In
    a very large hard sided suitcase she packs her entire set-up besides
    the tent. The tent is an easy up and she uses collapsible water
    filled weights to hold it down. Her set-up is an abstracta with plexi
    shelves and fabric she uses as a backdrop and to wrap the base of the
    abstracta, she overlaps and drapes it all very nicely. She hangs
    several large, plexi sandwiched photos to complete the display.
    Considering how light her packing is it looks pretty good. She tries
    to stay at a close-by hotel with a shuttle service and they will
    often take her to the show and sometimes the nice young driver will
    help her set up for a few minutes. 

    On the other hand I haven't seen her since 9/11 and wonder how much
    more of a hassle it might be. In addition, I wouldn't want to be her
    neighbor in a storm because of concerns over how well a lightweight
    easy-up with filled water jugs as weights might ride it out.
