   Having once lost a venue two weeks out and being on staff of a con that we moved to an open working airport. This seems so much easier.

   When your con is broke, ‘Almost nothing” is the right cost.

   In this situation I’d perhaps have the “Mini-Bork One Day Con” at the Expo Center with the goal of fundraising, and then plan the real con at a real hotel.

      At the least go do a walkthrough. Maybe it’s not as bad as you think it is. (Granted, maybe it’s worse). At this point, they shouldn’t ignore any options.

   I have a feeling that I know where the con will end up…

   Having seen what emerges when you move the shelves of a grocery store that’ve been there a while… it could be nasty.

   I’m trying to imagine a converted grocery store into convention center and I just can’t, it always ends up way too small. If Bork Con is expecting less than 250 people it might work, but Bork Con seemed to be pretty successful before so I can’t see that.

   Seriously though, how would there be more than 2 or 3 rooms in a converted grocery store?

      There was a con that did this a year or two ago. You don’t really get rooms, you’d have to put up pole & drape.

   poorly converted store? {flashes back to early X-Cons in Oconomowoc} Now that I think about it, X-Con landed there as a result of the Astor Disaster. “plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose”
