[Ansteorra] LAND: Feast Hall Wish-List (a little long/complex)

[Vicki Marsh]

Speaking of aisle widths, when Donnel and I were setting up for Steppes
Artisan, she got a big laugh out of watching me estimate the needed amount.
I put my arms out like I was flying, to estimate hoop skirts passing each
other in the walkways. She laughed at me, but it worked:)

And, I have also found that hoop skirts and wheel chairs have about the same
turn radius and ability to corner. Motorized chairs are more like large
skirts with trains......

As far as the Pin goes, I'd prefer to maintain the water-tight integrity of
my noggin', if one get's my meaning.  (I do look forward to meeting you in
person some day, just to share a few more direct laughs / stories! ... and
food/drink, of course.)

My preference is for at least five feet of width on aisles, with a mixture
of available seating / accommodation for bring-your-own chairs, and
definitely some "appropriate" accommodations for wheel-equipped conveyances.
I'd also think that a 3x3 square per person for seating would be the
absolute minimum acceptable -- although I'd also like to think we could
average 6 - 8 seated to feast per 8-foot table, although I have sometimes
seen attempts to crowd ten to the same in the past.  We do learn from our
less-fortunate choices over time, don't we? <tired gryn>

(As long as we're dreaming here, let's work in a few added amenities like
some access to recharger outlets, power for medical apparatus, etc.  And a
cellular reception suppression system for use during court...with bypass
capability for identified emergency response workers & designated /
well-trained staff.)

Some variation in available table heights and distributions also would be
nice, particularly for those participants who otherwise have difficulty
actually getting to the standard-height folding table (chair arms, physical
characteristics, or what-have-ye).

Hey, I *did* say that I might have left out a few considerations...
