The Auditorium: the place where nearly everything takes place. Auctions, trivia contests, video screenings, and most importantly guest appearances!
These first six rows of seats are for the highest seat package holders. They get the best seats and have the most events included in their tickets. I’m in row 5!
Farther back are the Preffered Weekend and General Admissions seats.
I was surprised by how small the hall is compared to the accommodations at the annual Chicago Creation convention, which I have attended 5 years in a row. The room may be wider, but it has considerably less depth.
The lobby area is also of considerably smaller size than Chicago. There is very little room for many vendors to set up. The picture below at the left includes the photo table, and the clothes vendor. At the bottom right is the registration table.
One of the adjacent rooms has been set up for the Prop Museum. Pictures from there are soon to come!
I did not learn until very late this evening that they actually set up more vendors on the floor below. Tomorrow I will have to go and check them out.
More to come! Stay tuned!
