[Deptheads] Fw: Comments from attendees

[Strategicon Department Heads]

A couple of comments I heard:

The BGG virtual auction would have liked to have an official meeting place. 
They met in the lobby, but felt they would have liked a room or something 
for an hour or so to conduct trades. IMO, it wouldn't hurt to have them 
downstairs during the flea market. That would get more traffic to the people 
there.

The flea people were not happy about downstairs. They generally felt the 
traffic was not as good and lighting was bad. From my perspective (as a 
buyer) I was much happier down there as there was a lot more room, it was 
easier to get around, and more people could be selling at once. I also 
appreciated having the tables for gaming during non-flea times because open 
gaming was full quite a bit.

On the open gaming side, BGG has flags for use. One says 'player's wanted' 
one says 'teacher wanted'. That works really well at their con and could be 
utilized at Strategicon. BGG also offers 'quiet' rooms for gaming where the 
rooms are expected to be well managed for sound purposes. I'm not sure if 
there is space for that anywhere.

Overall, I heard good things about the convention. The energy was up and 
there was lots of good gaming to be had.

Nice job all.
