Why is "exhorbitant" a common mis-spelling of "exorbitant"?
@Josh61 I think you're on to something. I'm fluently bilingual and my English spelling here could have been influenced by the French (mis)-spelling!

Word for "void of people"
"Unpopulated" might fit the bill, though it might be more appropriate for a city than a lobby...

Can or should "ask" ever be used as a noun?
Some further digging has yielded the following excellent essay on nominalization: opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/03/30/…

Analogue of "most recent" for events in the future
I've been using "most imminent" and "impending" to some degree of success since this Question, so I'll accept this as my answer, though in most everyday use, where specificity about sort order is not that critical, "upcoming" is, of course, the better choice.
