[QUOTE="Ysgarran, post: 1034240, member: 709"] One of the friends I attended the con with has a broken foot. (Third metatarsal, if I remember correctly). It isn't set in a cast but is visibly swollen to about 1.5 times the size of his other foot. He had taken a couple of chairs down from a cart so he could keep it elevated and hopefully keep the swelling down. He was politely informed that he couldn't do that because the convention center would levy a 3000$ fine if anyone else besides a union member set up chairs. Being a rather stoic gentlemen he didn't make a fuss about it although he did pay (in terms of swelling and pain) for it later in the convention. To be fair, he should have made his condition know but didn't. So I can't say if the staff would have been more accommodating if they had known. Just my story from the convention, Ysgarran. [/QUOTE]
