Convivial 3

The programming page has the final version of the schedule of events on it.  Some things might be added to the schedule during the convention and of course there’s a slight chance other changes might be made– if so, they’ll be posted and announced at the con.  I’ll try to update the website too if I can find the time.

We’ve updated the directions page to list a route we’ve been using from south Minneapolis to the hotel which actually doesn’t involve a detour or any sort of road construction.  It’s a miracle!  That route is the first one listed on the page.

What to bring:  a look at the schedule reveals that you might want to bring craft supplies, blank t-shirts (or shoes or hats or bags) for embellishment, hiking gear, photography gear, a musical instrument, games, and/or fun pajamas. I recommend having a look at the schedule before you head to the con.

The con officially starts at 2 p.m. on Friday, which is when the consuite and gaming rooms open.  Registration will be available starting at 2 p.m. in the consuite.  The consuite and all of our function space is on the 13th floor.  See the schedule (as linked above) for full details.

If you are pre-registered, you should’ve received an informational email last night.  If you haven’t seen it, please check your spam folder for it.  If you can’t find it or somehow didn’t receive it, get in touch and we’ll send you another one.

The consuite will be open to some degree starting on Thursday afternoon and evening as we move stuff into the hotel and get things set up– if you’d like to help us, that’d be great!  Unfortunately the elevator to the 13th floor (where the consuite is) will be locked so you’ll need to tag along with someone who has a room key to get up there.  Watch for folks with the con in the lobby and go upstairs with them or call up to the Presidential Suite/Consuite (room 1321) to have someone come down to let you up there.  We’ll likely be busiest and need the most help between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m.  We can’t guarantee that someone will be around before 5 p.m. so it’s best that you make arrangements in advance if you’d like to show up earlier. (The elevators will be unlocked from Friday at 1 p.m. until at least Sunday at 4 p.m.)

Have any questions?  Get in touch with us today for the speediest response; as of Thursday afternoon we’ll be running here and there setting things up  and once Friday afternoon rolls around we’ll having fun at the con so won’t be checking email as often this weekend.   Once you’re at the con, you should have no trouble finding a committee member or other clueful person to talk to.
