I'd heard that the hotel was small, but I had no idea just HOW small it was - I feel like William Shatner at the end of season 2 on original Trek. ^*

Just a suggestion: If there's enough Security available, it would be a great idea to station someone outside the elevator banks on every floor to avoid overloading. And whoever it was who had the idea to require everyone to exit at the top and bottom floors: thank you! "Up to go down" may have been acceptable at the Park Plaza, but it's definitely not an option at the Hyatt.

Looking forward to the next Arisia...and hoping that after that, we'll have a bigger hotel...

PS - One suggestion: since a lot of editions of Clear Ether disappeared kind of quickly, perhaps PDFs could be posted on the Arisia website?

It might help just to emphasize more to attendees that they *need* to think of people other than themselves when riding the elevator if things are going to run in any way even resembling smoothly, and as such need to get out of the elevator at the bottom, even if they only rode down so they could go further up.

And yes, for people who are handicapped, permanently or temporarily, elevator allowances need to be made. And were, every time I saw an issue.

Anyway, the policy was never clearly articulated that I saw, much less with the reasons for it. I think that would help a lot to get people to voluntarily implement it, with less need for elevator guards.
