At some point we'll be too big for a regular suite, and then you move to a larger one - probably when the number staying at the hotel full time exceeds 20-25. I've seen science fiction con suites, usually held in executive sized suites, that held 50 people easily. Sometimes they get two adjoining rooms that have a connecting door and then keep that door open. But an Embassy Suites type suite can hold 15-20, with the primary problem getting the hotel to provide extra chairs (or allow you to bring some folding chairs in). lojbab -- lojbab lojbab@lojban.org Bob LeChevalier, President, The Logical Language Group, Inc. 2904 Beau Lane, Fairfax VA 22031-1303 USA 703-385-0273 Artificial language Loglan/Lojban: http://www.lojban.org
