Jerry Stearns said that Programming was a concern. GoH events were smooth for the most part. Emphasis on the success of the Audio GoH.

Chris: Emphasize diversity, the different aspects of fandom.

Shahn, who introduced himself as "fresh meat" gleefully announced that he would sub-head parties next year.

Theresa said that se only had 3 months to do volunteers. She had numerous problems. There was a problem with previous convention (timing). She received 500 volunteer cards, a total of 6,341 hours of documented volunteer time. They gave away all their premiums. There were 260 folk who worked more than 20 hours. Most staffing problems were covered successfully.

David said that the original pocket program book sucked and he missed the revised edition. He felt that it was more chaotic this year.

It was nice to have the drum jam moved.

Party rooms lacked adequate communication. People found out that they had a party room less than a month before the con, which is insufficient time to plan anything.

David: room requests were not acknowledged.

Martin: got letter from the Rad in February.

David responded that this emphasized the need for better communication about rooms.

Murph said that Gaming had no direct contact with the Bridge because they were in the Sofitel. This caused organizational problems.

John said that he missed a live band for dancing, missed the rave. He also stated that the "mailing list" for the drum jam was a disguise for collecting signatures on a petition to move the drum jam poolside. While he liked the drum jam, he felt that it makes too much noise poolside.

David also liked the drum jam, but also felt that pool side drumming makes the consuite too noisy.

There was a lot of discussion about the drum jam, the two drum jam petitions (one for, one against) and the allegation that there was a petition masquerading as a mailing list. Someone (whose name is lost in the mists of history) said that Minicon had a hard time finding a drum jam liaison to talk to.

Shahn missed the drumming but felt it increased safety.

Theresa dais that department problems caused some staffing issues.

Shahn: volunteer communication issue will take work to rectify.

There was a lack of monitors for time keeping in panels. Jerry thought the monitors kept time.

Martin thought that Ops has improved, the rangers were better (meaning, more mellow).

There was a badging imbalance: one side of the consuite was zealous, one side lax.

Martin is concerned at ops, "too much retention of information."

Machinery Hill was not badged.

Theresa emphasized that there was a lack of communication. She has a database of who wants to work where.

Jerry noted that Minicon has a traditional communication problem.

There was friction in pre-con planning meetings towards close to the con.

Martin wondered who in his group had been to a convention besides Minicon. Only one person had not been to another convention.

Jerry said that Tom Lopez was impressed with liaison and Minicon.

Remember the family.

Gaming ran well despite lack of communication. No radio was a big problem , it would have solved the communications problem.

Teamsters logged 2,000+ hours. The Teamsters were sorely missed Tuesday morning. They had 60 volunteers.

There needs to be better communication between Volunteers and Teamsters.
