Depending on what you mean by "facilities and support" -- and I don't mean to be Clintoneque here, pinky swear -- that's anywhere from a modest request that's likely to happen (and sounds like it didn't happen this year through a misunderstanding by/with the hotel -- I'm assuming that the originally planned venue was fine with you, although you know what they say about assumptions) to an impossibility.

I think you can get open music parties in a location that isn't metaphorically Siberia; I don't think you've got much of a chance of persuading people whose thing isn't open music parties to participate, either as audience or performers.

We did get some good music participation at an open circle on Saturday night, but it was located in the Edina room, far from anywhere else where there were people, food or drink. While it was well attended by musicians, there weren't that many people who found it as a place to come and listen and party.

That's what I mean by 'facilities.' And, after talking with Concom members at last night's Dessicated Dodo party, it does look like there's support for putting music closer to the general party area, and the ConSuite's refreshments.
