Checking things off the list

soc_puppetDone today for AnimeIowa Accessibility:
Emailed the hotel/venues team about:
- Doorway width
- Carpet depth
- Hallway length (main hallway only)
- Hallway width (main hallway only, though maybe I should also ask about the secondary hallway; hmm...)
Emailed the person who puts together our Accessibility Pass buttons about getting button blanks; with the way supply chains are now, I want to make sure we get blanks ordered ASAP!
I posted about the possibility of an AI Rickshaw in the Staff section of our Discord, but haven't seen any response (I am dead certain that we wouldn't be hurting for volunteers to pull a rickshaw for an anime con; as a bonus, we could use it for transportation of equipment!). Nor any response to my "accessible font" suggestion/feedback in December. Don't know how proactive I should be on these...
Edit:
Me: Let's search the internet for someplace I can rent extra wheelchairs from, for our attendees! Last I knew, the hotel had a couple, but I want to have all my bases covered.
The internet: This website rents wheelchair ...vans! This website is for motorized scooters that you use in the street, not the sort intended for disabled people! This website only rents to New York! This website only rents to Colorado! This website is full of viruses! This website is for sale! Here's a website with a list of chain stores that rented wheelchairs to the public two years ago, but stopped!
Me: 🤬
