The following are emails I need to write (and/or points to bring up on various email lists):
filking: I really wanted to get into this, but there is a high bar due to the huge body of knowledge that already exists, the existing filkers who want to cling to that body of knowledge and not accept more, and the existing filkers who disregard you if you don't appreciate their body of knowledge. londo suggests emailing Ellen C.
XKCD panel: Way too full for the room it was in. Suggest larger room if done again.
Con Suite: I like real food. Also DO NOT have panels in Con Suite!
Art Show: Have express elevator workers announce not only, "Express to 14 and 16!" but "Express to FAST TRACK and ART SHOW! Come see some pretty art in your spare 20 minutes!" Also have signage for those elevators explain what they are express to. Also sad - I don't really like art.
Elevators and Stairs: I really should've tried to climb Mt Arisia on crutches. Really. As it was, mostly I got around ok, but chairs near the elevators on every floor would be AWESOME.
Movie Year in Review: Good panel. Do again. Be on time.
Masquerade: if not in my own costume by next year, help out with Kamakaze Kids and Kids' Masquerade entrants again. AWESOME!
Fast Track: Volunteer for more. Kids are great. Kids + crafts = fun.
Responsible Monogamy: GREAT panel. Love the psych-related panels. Suggest the 'finding/relating to a mundane psychologist' panel.
Bellydancing: Find out how to find out about it pre-con. Even if I were mobile this year, I wouldn't have known how to get in on the show.
Buffy sing-along: Very cool, suggest again.
Goblin Ball: advertise more next year, didn't even know it was there
Eye of Argon reading: continues to be done wrong. >:| Offer to run it RIGHT, as a full reading, next year late night? Ho boy... (londo suggests: 5 hours at 11pm. I suggest: blurb that indicates event may be dropped into at any time, participation open to any and all, the more punch-drunk the better [though not actually drunk - Sunday?])
Dealers: Dealer's row is just fine, but rough for mobility-issues people. I avoided rooms often because they were too busy and I couldn't crutch around in them.
Blood drive: Am I the only one turned OFF from the blood drive because the 'naughty nurses' seem to be its main attraction? Perhaps I'm being really petty - and yeah, I don't normally give blood anywhere anyway - but I don't react well to that particular application of 'sex sells'.
