Signal Boost: Accessability issues at this year's World-Con

[neotoma]

I found this through access_fandom -- a report detailing access issues at this year's WorldCon, including a practical joke involving a non-existant track of programming and a lot escalators.

Admittedly, I don't go to more than 1 or 2 SF conventions a year, but the ones I have been to were done people by who were serious about the attendees having a good time, not playing unacceptable jokes on them.

Wow, that sounds extraordinarily rude and obnoxious. If there is an access committee on the con, they're either worthless or powerless.

It's WorldCon, it floats. The report certainly makes me think that I'll stay away from Chi-Con, the Chigago SF con that was this year's WorldCon host.
