I am never going to Fanexpo again. I am probably never going to any corporate-run convention again.

The short version is (a) their event planning assumes everyone is young, able-bodied, and not traveling with small children, and (b) that such people have no need for chairs or benches over the course of a long day.

My thanks to the various fans who gave us water and generally tried to help. Security, OTOH, tended to be standing over green_trilobite whenever I cam back from a reconnaissance or beverage-finding mission, and would then ask me why I wasn't helping him.

We gave up after a few hours of green_trilobite semi-collapsing, ate the ticket costs and came home without seeing Stan Lee. Oh, and getting out of the building was fun, too - I finally steered green_trilobite through what turned out to be a fire door, and got yelled at by another security guard; but at least he let us leave.

I see a lot of those folding camp chairs that are also canes in fan line-ups.

It occurs to me that Fan run conventions were the first big conventions to be fully handicapped accessible. The guys running the Expo are a big step backwards and clearly are just generic businessmen with no clues as to their customer base.
