This is needed because hardware requires having parts on hand, so to have everything you need for Saturday and Sunday, you will need to order parts on Amazon Prime on Thursday night.
This will be the day to finalize your team, brainstorm for a few hours, and know what you need to buy/bring for the weekend.
