Elevator clarification

[jasra]

Just to clarify, the problem with the elevators last year has to do with the doors.

If you hold the door open with anything other than the "door open" butotn, then it mucks with the elevator mechanisms and can bump the door out of its track.

If you lean against the doors, it mucks with the elevator mechanisms and can bump the door out of its track.

So, don't touch the doors. Ever. Use the "door open" button.

We'll be posting signs at the con, but if you start spreading the word, that'll help too.

Part of the problem is that hotel is just too small..err... narrow. Plus things were all over the place. The art show was all the way on the top floor and dealers room was high up too. It caused even more of a bustle for the elevator because not only were people using them to get to their rooms constantly, there was everyone trying to get to dealers room and the art show. Tell me please that they aren't putting the art show on the top floor again. Can it be in a ball room somewhere? Ha! Same for dealers room! :P

At Park Plaza most things happened on the same floor. I used the stairs any time I wasn't going to my room because that made things easy. Mezzanine and surrounding areas/rooms was pretty much where EVERYTHING was, save dealers row and party blocks.

Maybe I'm behind on the loop - but is there any chance of ever getting Arisia back to Park Plaza? It seemed better suited for a con of our size.

There is no dealer's room at Arisia 2008; just dealer's row.

Alas, the Art Show will again be on the 16th floor; this is due to several factors but the most important one is...lack of space elsewhere. While I'm sure many find the Art Show interesting, taking up the main ballroom (which is the only room of close to equivalent size) for most of the con would probably annoy many others.

My understand is that Arisia will not be back in the Park Plaza in the foreseeable future; without going into too many details, I can say that scheduling for hotels is done quite a bit in advance and I don't believe the Park Plaza is available for our weekend anytime soon. Note that I'm not on the hotel committee so I could be wrong about this.
