Evelyn Leeper's con report (http://www.fanac.org/worldcon/Conspiracy/w87-rpt.html): "The convention was very spread-out. The main track was in the Brighton Centre, the secondary tracks, the Dealers' Room, and the Art Show in the Metropole Complex, and the film program in the Bedford."

Was that huge seething crowd I remember really only about 4,000 people? I suppose the huge number of journalists added to the crowding quite a bit, especially when they were setting up their camera equipment so as to block the hallways.
