<div><font color="#ff0000">The cafeteria across the street from the
convention hall adjusted their hours Thursday, Friday and Saturday and
extended their breakfast and lunch hours. They normally closed at 2:30
PM, but for the convnetion they reopened for dinner all three days.
The food was good and reasonably priced, but the wait in line was
sometines an hour or more. There were at least three other restaurants
that I know of within a block of the convention center that were open
for dinner.</font></div>

One problem I found was, on Wednesday night between 5 pm and 8 pm,
there was no dancing yet, no vendor halls to walk through (they weren't
open until Thursday) and NO FOOD COURTS OPEN. I think somebody lost a
big opportunity to sell some food and make some money.<br>
