- Yes, yes, a thousand times yes! I once (once, mind you, never again) attended
- a national convention that had LOUSY acoustics AND concrete flooring. The
- admission was $30 for the weekend, and all I got out of it was a splitting
- headache and a sprained knee. To make it worse, this was the SECOND time
- they had held the convention at this location. The walls were concrete
- block and there were metal pipes crossing the ceiling. Why, why, why?

- Chairs. Most people don't want to dance every dance, and it's annoying
- not to be able to sit down when you sit out.
-
- Extension cords. Usually, you have more plugs than outlets, and you will
- have to run a cord across the room in order to provide enough electricity.
