Sunday evening, part 1 of 3.
( People I saw and photographed Sunday evening included: Eve Ackerman, Brian Ameringen, ... ) and a number of Hugo nominees and their acceptors that I didn't get itemized in my notes.
Sunday evening, the Hugo Nominees Reception is supposed to open at 18:00. And the floodlights, which Nojay and crew set up Sunday afternoon, have gone missing. As Allan MacBain (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
testerscotI walked into the Forth room, at 18:00, to see a lectern where the floodlights had been, and them nowhere to be found... "Bloody Hell!!"; dozens of people running around and I was screaming inside!
We determined from Kevin Standlee that the lights had been set up in the room as late as 17:15, when he'd left it. The only people who had anything to do in that room since then were the exhibition centre's caterers. We grilled them, they didn't move them, and they said that they didn't see them in the room. I asked the security guards to review the tapes to see who had taken them out of the room, if it was one of our people or one of theirs. Their tapes were unhelpful... We got word eventually that the SECC people had found the lights, they were backstage where our people had set them up. I was suspicious, because I knew from last night that we had two pairs and they may have been looking at the wrong pair. (Idea for next time: tie a different coloured ribbon, or use a different colour of duct tape, on each piece of like equipment. Or number them.)
( We eventually figured out that Alistair Cameron had them in his car. )
We had all of the nominees present for each category, and where they were willing to go on stage we put the people who were there accepting for absent winners. We skipped over the Dramatic Presentation category, because the only acceptor present for all of them was Craig Miller. (In hindsight, he says we should have taken a picture of just him, and then photoshopped him 5 or 10 times over.)
