The area between the two buildings is inside. Ed's talking about the common / entry area where you first enter. If you continue straight, you will walk all the way through and out to the kids trout pond. If you go right, you'll end up in the main hall / convention area. If you go left, you'll enter the arena area. The area Ed suggested is a good area because not a lot of people congragate there. It's more of a transition area for people to walk through or look at the boats displayed in this entry area. I'm not sure if I clarified this any, but it made sense to me (that's not saying much LOL).

See you all there, Terry G.
