OryCon At A Glance Back Cover

This pocket program was a collaborative production by John Lorentz and Ruth Sachter who wrestled Helen Umberger's program schedule, Chuck Leon's video schedule, Karl Krehbiel's gaming schedule, and David Levine's maps and Restaurant & Services Guide into this format. Cover design by Nancy Wirsig McClure. Next year you can make OryCon 21 Chair Helen Umberger's life easier by volunteering to take charge of this publication!

OryCon fills all available space here at the Columbia River; we keep asking the hotel to expand but no luck so far.

You have this in hand so you must have already found Registration in the lobby along with Volunteers, Artifacts, Information, and Fan Tables. Here's a basic guide to the rest: you'll find the Dealers Room, Autograph table, and most Programming upstairs; the Art Show and Gaming downstairs; the Riverview Ballroom (events, dances & small group programming) on the lobby level past the Coffee Garden; the Quiet Bar off the lobby near the elevator; and all the rest in the Interstate Wing: Green Room (Eisenhower Suite), Writers Workshop (Room 408), Hospitality (Kennedy Suite), Fan Lounge (Mount Hood Suite), Con Office (Tualatin), Video (Umpqua), Internet Café (Wallowa), and Readings (Nestucca). See the map on page ? (there'll be a quiz at the end...).

During the day, the Riverview Ballroom is used for multiple small group discussions, demos, etc. Since space for each is limited, we request that you sign up in advance in the Green Room starting Friday. (When the Green Room is closed, the Office will have the lists.)

The Office is also the place for after-hours Registration, Child Care registration and scrip, Lost & Found, Open Party Registration, Masquerade Registration, submissions for the Daily Zine, and everything else not otherwise accounted for.

Restaurant and Services Guide

by David D. Levine

Welcome back to the Columbia River DoubleTree Hotel! Most of you have been here before and know the island pretty well by now, but there have been a few changes since last year, and we've found some pretty good places to eat just across the river in Vancouver. Enjoy!

Food -- In the Hotel

Coffee Garden

OryCon's best "see and be seen" dining spot, with the quality, service, and prices you'd expect from a hotel coffee shop. Hours and type of service (buffet vs. menu) are tentative at press time.

Breakfast buffet 6a-11a; lunch buffet 11:30a-1:30p; dinner buffet 5p-9p. Moderate.

Brickstones

Food here is quite good, with a Northwest emphasis. "Small plates" are available for lighter appetites.

Lunch 11:30a-2p M-Sa; dinner 5p-10p daily; Sunday brunch 9:30a-1:30p. Expensive.

Billiards Club

The only place to get food in the hotel at some hours. Bar menu only. Service is variable.

11:30a-11p daily. Moderate.

Quiet Bar

A nice place to hang out. No food. Can be smoky.

5p-12p daily. Moderate.

Lobby Coffee Cart

It's right here, but much better coffee is available elsewhere on the island.
