[ACML] Dealers room question (branched off big/small thread)

[bekkaalice at yahoo.com]

I wasn't arguing for 12', Greg.  I was answering the thread where someone suggested 6' and he thought 3-4' is fine.

>Clarifying why we're going wide on the space here

Sure, but looking at his proposed space (and 
guesstimating on his event) 12' walkways is both
excessive and semi-unrealistic.  I mean arguably he
could've put a row of booths NOT against the wall 
and then extended that way, but for his space 6' or
maybe 8' walkways should be sufficient while still
providing ample table availability.

The only way to do 12' is to essentially eliminate
the entire area allotted to "Artist tables" (and
raising it to 6-8' would require dropping a few 
tables, I recommend reconfiguring the center to
TWO smaller circles instead of 1 big one to help
mitigate that, or at least give more traffic flow)

I don't know what they're projecting for attendance
but if it's under 1000 6-8' should be fine.  Sure 
there's not room for cosplayers to setup a photo
shoot right in the middle of the Dealers Room, but 
you usually don't want that anyway. ;)
