The editor of the pocket schedule may want to fix this. After 11 PM comes 12 AM, not 12 PM.
Another victim fallen to the overwhelming powers of copy/paste.
Edit: Found another error...The pocket schedule says the Astronofurs meet starts at 9, but the event listing says it starts at 10!

Dang, and it's already off to the printer!I'll phone them today and see if we can stop the presses.
The Astronofurs should be at 10 PM, I guess. In this part of the country, it's still not fully dark at 9 PM.
Whatever are you talking about? I looked at the program and it seems just fine to me! Have a closer look.

permalinkMaybe I'm blind, but Kage, I think you guys left out the location of the Pittsburgh Liquorstore on the city guide, come on! Listing that will surely bring some big time revenu to the city!

permalinkClosing Ceremonies are in Room 305? I'll try to get the puppet stage down in time. Unless you could move it across the hall to The Spirit of Pittsburgh Ballroom?

Er..what do you mean? It's always been in the Spirit of Pittsburgh Ballroom! Are you sure you were looking at the right schedule?

No big problems with the listings for the music programming except this: The Festival of Music on Sunday from 3-5 p.m. is not being run by me (Randy Hoffman); while I'd like for me and my peeps to be able to be involved, that event is under the auspices of someone else whose name I do not have handy at the moment.

Also, the entries for the concerts read like resumes; I guess I should have provided better descriptions.
For my concert: "Randy will regale you with a small sample of the 100-odd SF, fantasy, and other songs he's written: funny, eerie, thoughtful...but mostly funny. Come hear how entertaining an a capella performance can be!"
For Pete Grubbs' concert: "Pete is a man of many interests: farmer, singer/songwriter/guitarist, Keeper of the OS/2 Flame, and much more. The songs he performs and the stories behind them reflect life at its broadest and deepest; listen and enjoy!"
For Robert and Martha's concert: "Some of the material that Robert (on harp and vocal) and Martha (on vocals) have learned and written during their long association with fandom will make you shiver. Some will make you smile. Some will make you laugh. But it's all wonderful -- don't miss it!"

We can only print the descriptions that we were sent. And sadly, the program guide is already being printed. We can't make any changes at this point.

If I'd been aware that I needed to include a program-book-level description when I submitted the program items for consideration, I would have. (Seems odd to write a slick description for an item that you're not even sure is gonna be accepted for the program.) Oh well. I'll know better next time!

Guess it's too late to include a map of the hotel/CC then
I'll probably photocopy mine from last year. If there were a way to upload pics to this MB, I could scan it... If I were really ambitious, I might be able to convert it to ASCII art...

Please remember that while all suggestions are considered, sometimes they're just not logistically possible.
I wasn't part of working on the pocket program for Anthrocon, but I have helped produce the pocket program for other conventions. Let me tell you, it is incredibly difficult to get all of the information into the requisite number of pages and maintain legibility. Legible maps of the hotel and convention center would probably require another sheet (four pages) to be added to the pocket program, which would both make it larger and more to carry around and also increase the cost of printing by $500-1,000 (my estimate, based on printing costs at MFF).

That was precisely the case. We either had to make it extremely teeny, or add several pages to the program guide, which was not economically feasible.
Now, don't forget, we DO have signs posted everywhere we can think to post signs, which point the way to major events and locales. If you can think of something that needs to be on a sign that isn't, let us know and we'll try to add it next year.

And if you're still having trouble locating where an event is, Security or Con Ops will be happy to help!

If your too far from Con-Ops and you don't see Security staff around, you could allways try asking someone with a Staff Badge, just keep in mind not all of us know where everything is going on, and If were extremely busy with something at the time you ask us it may be a short answer along the lines of "I think theres a sign with directions over that way *waves finger off in general direction*. Though I personally as well as most of the staff I know will be more then happy to assist, if we are able.
