1. I saw that space a few days after the Hugo Ceremony when cynthia1960 and I went to the WonkaGuiness factory. It's not that big. Even with the adjoining hall.
2. I've always been irked by the Hugo Loser Party's exclusivity. The convention members vote on the award. I understand it's considered a gig where the shrimp floats past on boats in a stream of booze, but the "you ain't cool enough" thing is off-putting. Conventions need safe spaces for marginalized people. Hugo winners and losers aren't automatically marginalized people.
