I agree that advertising the party with no room number was a bit odd and said as much to my assistant who knows the people who put it on. But I don't think it *shouldn't* have been done; I just think they could have been clearer about the dress code.

The whole thing has spiraled out of control, though, and people are talking about how the party should have been canceled, the posters taken down and the people not allowed to return to Arisia, all for the sin of turning away people at the door and thus pushing some people's buttons. And that, I think, is a total over-reaction.
