No Events at Hotel Collinsville for Archon 33
The former Holiday Inn Collinsville will not be directly involved with this year's Archon convention. From the Archon 33 home page:
"There are going to be changes for Archon 33. There will be no programming or events at the Hotel Collinsville (the hotel formerly known as the Holiday Inn). All programming, including the dance, filking, and hospitality will take place at the Gateway Center. The facility will be open until 3AM on Friday and Saturday nights.
These changes were necessary due to some dramatic changes the aforementioned hotel has put into place due to new management. The Archon board feels that these changes were far too stringent to allow our attendees to have an enjoyable weekend. One such change was that they would not allow any room parties. By the way, anyone interested in hosting a room party at this year's Archon should watch for future announcements regarding the locations accepting them. "
I've read on the Atomic Squash forums that alcohol will be limited to a hospitality room in the convention center. So no more roaming the halls with booze you brought with you. You may be able to buy beer from the convention center, depending on how late they keep their concessions open. Not that it matters...
Since the facility will be open until 3AM, that is plenty late for LARPing. You'll just have to walk a little farther to find a good afterparty. I look forward to coming back this year and playing with the SLUGS crew.
