At Penguicon I was wondering what all those skirted tables were for....seemed to me a great space to promote fandom/con/business stuff. While looking at Troy's sketch I didn't see much "open" hall space, but a corridor around the corner from the big ballroom to the left caught my eye for something like it.
Though of expanding 4-5 Reg/gofer tables down it...maybe we could turn it into a flex table space? >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1:33:35 PM 4/21/04 >>> On Sunday 11 April 2004 23:17, Mark A.

Fan/art tables usually do not have to be lockable (unless they're selling a significant number of prints), because they can easily pick their stuff up at take it back to their room. This also means they can man the table when the dealer's room would otherwise be closed, if they want to. We can set up fan tables and artist tables in the corridors. Probably what we could do is say that if you buy a 4 foot dealer package (that's your $50 above), we can give you a standalone 6 foot outside the dealer's room. More space, but not lockable. Still, it means more flexibility in the setup/teardown schedule... In part I'm trying to reduce the congestion in the dealer's room. We will have a finite amount of space in there, if we do it right... It is, however, your area. If you _want_ everything in the dealer's room, that's your call. Rob
