Seen at Baycon

[mdlbear]

A laser-printed sign captioned "Hotel Guide" above a copy of Escher's "Relativity", with a "you are here" arrow pointed at the person in the center.

It turns out that the fastest route from our end of the third floor to the function space on the second floor (astute readers will remember that these floors are connected by a one-foot-high ramp) is to take one set of elevators down to the ground floor, walk fifty feet to another set of elevators in the lobby, and go up. (edit actually, that's the shortest route. But when you add in the waiting time for two elevators, it's actually close to a wash time-wise, and it's all the walking I'm likely to get this weekend.)

Concert in 1:15. Setup in 0:45. Be there or be square, or at least vaguely oblong.

"You march to the end and you turn to the right
You enter the doorway marked "EXIT"
A freight elevator you'll find there leads straight up
To a hallway which is near your hotel room."

Suggested addition to the concert -

Gary McGath's Hyper Hilton.

Its about the Rye Town Hilton (NY) when you are filking on the 2nd floor (one level of it), 4 is above you, 6 is below you and 7 REALLY is around the bend.

Lunacon moved back there after 3 years of wandering around the NYC area. Its also nicknamed the Escher Hilton.

Sounds like the Baycon hotel is Escher West.

I hope your concerts went well. (I look forward to hearing a recording when you post it.)
