I'd prefer lit from the inside... I can use a variety of materials for lit-from-outside, but at night, a yellow glowing Thingie would attract more attention than a piece of plywood with a spotlight on it. :)

If you can collect boxes from co-workers, that would be truly awesome... I'm actually located in Concord, but I'd be willing to meet you further east if you're going somewhere we could easily meet up. Otherwise, I can hang out at a landmark (BART station, cafe, whatever) until you come by.

Ping me at this username on gmail, and we can work out details. And thank you!
