And they said that the room the panels is in is far from the elevators so if you are using you walker give yourself extra time.
That's a bummer. The layout last year was enough that I probably could have just used my walker. Except I wasn't doing that great last year. I'm doing better this year and I was hoping not to have to use the wheelchair (it makes me so far below everyone else's eye level, you know.)
The wheelchair/walker is actually how I get to the front of the line. I used to be embarrased about it. But once I embraced it, it was kind of like, "Hey, I wake up in pain everyday, why not reap the benefit?" It also gets Misha to be inappropriately grabby, so I'll take it, lol.
We are going all three days. We will arrive late on Thursday, probably around 11pm. And we have to be on the road on Sunday around 4pm. But yeah, if it is mostly just sitting at the table, and if there is anything else, well - The Cousin will be with me. She's young and full of energy. ;)
You can slot me in for one of those days, definitely. I wish they would post the schedule sooner than they do - it's frustrating trying to make social plans with people (and some people I'm trying to make plans with aren't at the convention, they are just friends who live in Chicago) when I don't know what the con schedule is. With you trying to set up a volunteer schedule, it must be especially frustrating for you. ;) How short-staffed are you? If you need, we can probably do twice. Let me know.
