Jade, you're remembering some things that never happened.
In 2006, we'd originally scheduled the Blue Mug in the con suite. We never had any meeting rooms downstairs reserved on Saturday night. But way more people showed up than really should have been in the room, and the people staying in the room next door were giving us all the evil eye before we even got started. When they complained, the hotel told us to either break it up or the con staff would lose the room, so we had to break it up. I wasn't there for what transpired downstairs - I was still upstairs, opening windows, because it was over 90 degrees in the room from so many people having been in there - but from what I heard, someone from security got all wound up about so many people being in the hallway outside the meeting rooms, and that's when the Blue Mug got called off altogether. That was Saturday evening.
On Sunday evening, after the Masquerade, and informal Blue Mug reconvened in one corner of the ballroom, and we had that room until midnight just as we always do. The drama on Sunday came from the a member of wedding party in the other ballroom, who came into our room and couldn't keep his drunken comments to himself. As I recall, we asked them to leave and Blue Mug, Take 2 continued until midnight without further interruption.
