I'd love to sign on ASAP, but without a site map or some suggestion as to what to sign on for, I'm kinda lost.The link to the hotel is dead . . .

Help?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Keep your ears and your mind open.

I just reserved a room in addition to the room 504 Mike is holding for me. I wanted to have sort of a private room and a public room. So the hotel reserved 503 for me, but that means I may have taken too many slices of pie. Bad pun.

My point is that if I can get another room on the same floor, cool. But I don't want to take Bill or George's rooms, or anyone else that's hangin' out with us there. So if we run out of rooms on the fifth floor, I'll trade my room 503 for someone else's. It would be nice to have my second room nearby, but it can really be anywhere.

What about the 1st floor? [message #39425 is a reply to message #39421]

What about the first floor? Do you have any rooms there? Will there be any of our friends from the Audiofest setup there?

I ask because I'd really like to have a concrete slab if I'm going to bring anything that generates any bass. I've found that rooms with framed drywall construction sound pretty good if the slab is concrete, but second and third floors usually sound pretty "flabby." It's similar to the issue of raised floors over crawlspaces, which always cause nasty sounding problems.

So if I were to bring something like seven π's, what would be my chances setting them up somewhere with corners on the first floor? After all, seven π's over a hollow floor are like a big block in the rain.

Let me know your thoughts. If there is a demo room on the first floor, maybe it would be nice to let the big iron play there. What do you think?

There are rooms on the first floor in the Civic Center, with corners, but not many, and not necessarily all that optimum. If you want one of those, then I would recommend that you wouldn't need the demo suite. There are no hotel rooms on the ground floor, all lobby and such. There is one meeting room there, but that is for our group talks, etc.

I suspect I'll show up a day early and scope things out. I expect that it won't be a big issue, and that the 5th floor will be fine. I'm certainly not going to bring Ghostbuster gadgets to set everything up like a primadonna. I just wanted to know that the floors aren't forming resonant cavities, and your reassurance that they're not is good enough for me.

cant remember for sure. I think the hotel is spancrete construction type and there is a slab between all the floors. obviously not as dense as having earth under you, still pretty resiliant.
