If there is, consider [throwing them out](/space/procedures/trash), but only if it is safe to do so. - Adjust lighting and music as needed before the event. - Put out [the e-ink panel](/hardware/eink-sign), direction magnets, and sign board if needed. - Make sure the sign is displaying correctly (the timestamp matches). It may need power cycling or even charging. - Prop open the entrance door for open events.
