Hi Ed - A couple folks have commented about the dryness. I didn't have that problem myself...not sure if there's an easy fix to that.
We've also had a couple folks agree with you that the hospitality space was smaller at the Doubletree than at the Inn At Towamencin. One reason it "felt" smaller might have been that the rest of the hotel was so open and airy. In the old place, room 155 was roughly 20 x 24; the Spruce Room was 18 x 26, roughly equivalent in size. The Spruce Room had no windows, unlike the old digs. We do have a couple of space utilization options open to us, though...but those options pose other logistical challenges we avoided by having a dedicated Hospitality Room available. As for outside antennas, that's a tough one. There's definite interest in the third day, and our plans for next year will include that; now it's up to folks to suggest (and volunteer for) sessions and events! Thanks for the feedback and thanks for your efforts to bring the Prometheus Radio Project and "Resurrect Dead" to the Fest. Hope Maggie and her colleagues made some connections that will benefit her efforts, and I hope Justin and his colleagues found the Q&A opportunity enjoyable.
