[Deptheads] Seminar Room and Hobby Class

[Janice Sellers]

My name is Janice, not Janet.

You are talking about what used to be Catalina F.  There used to be an
airwall between Catalina E and Catalina F.  Catalina E and Catalina F
formerly could be set up as separate rooms.  As Eric Aldrich told us a
while ago, that airwall is no longer there.  Therefore, they can no
longer be separate rooms.

For Gamex and Gateway, I have not been getting enough exhibitors to
need to use more than Catalina A through D.  For Orccon, I have needed
Catalina A through E.  Norm was able to use Catalina F because it was
a separate space.  It no longer is.

I will probably (but not definitely) need to use more than Catalina A
through D for Orccon this year.  I will not know for certain until at
least tomorrow and maybe Saturday, because several exhibitors
routinely show up on Saturday for their set-up.

Before anyone complains, I am not happy with this situation either, as
I stated when Eric told us about the change in the room.  I don't have
enough exhibitors to actually fill up the entirety of Catalina, but I
probably can't fit them all in A through D.  This will give me dead
space in the room.  Before anyone posts their favorite idea(s), I AM
NOT looking for your suggestions on what to do with the space.  Keep
those ideas to yourselves.

I will repeat -- I WILL NOT KNOW until at least Friday night, if not
Saturday morning, whether I will need the back part of Catalina (i.e.,
what used to be Catalina E and Catalina F).
