I absolutely HATE having music in the consuite, or adjacent to it so that the music is clearly heard in the consuite. I don't always want to hear music, and I particularly don't want to hear music--as anything other than the faintest of backgrounds--when I'm trying to have conversations with people.

Please consider that many of us who regularly attend Minicon are reaching the age at which it is common to have problems hearing a converstaion when there is a lot of ambient noise--which is exactly what music is in such a situation.

When this came up at the Dessicated Dodo party it was pretty much agreed that the nearest usable space for music would be on the first floor, under the Con Suite. I don't think that interfered with conversations above.

Music on the first floor room definitely did not interfere with conversation on the 2nd floor. Even when the music party below was in full swing, packed to the rafters with loud guitars, you couldn't hear it at all in the 2nd floor consuite. Well, I couldn't, anyway. If you were standing out by the balcony on the second floor you could hear that music was going on below, but very faintly.

Good. That was my impression, too. We even got a small filk circle going in the bar for a while, and I don't think that could be heard in the Con Suite, or even by the poker players on the patio - once they closed the door. :)

I will agree that *I* couldn't hear the music party from the consuite, unless I stopped directly above the music party on the balcony and *really*listened* for it.

However, my hearing loss means that the standard volume-as-inverse-square rule is more like an inverse-cube rule, so take my evaluation with a heavy grain of salt.
