Okay folks...
First and foremost, I want to apologize for this being agonizingly late. Secondly, I want to apologize for this being agonizingly late! (See, I apologized twice and that makes it all better.)

Now, the list you've been waiting for.

We are just a few days away from all the secrets getting out, so thought I would dodge the bullets and place the pocket guide online. This will be the same guide that you will receive at Registration, so don't feel the need to waste trees by printing this out.

On Site Registration

Rules!

Please bear in mind that the goal of registration is to get everyone taken care of as quickly as possible so they can get out of line and go enjoy the con. These rules are in place to facilitate that, as the registration staff is very focused on that goal. Asking for things that contradict the rules will only get a response of "no", and you will only be delaying the other folks behind you in line.

Cash is the fastest and easiest way to pay, and it's always accepted. We also have a Square reader for major credit cards, but if there are any problems with the system cash is the fall back. No other forms of payment will be accepted.

Identification is required in order for us to provide you with a badge. We have to verify your human face against your government issued ID.

On site badges are limited to sixteen alpha-numeric characters. Upper and lower case A-Z, 0-9 and spaces only. No symbols, no accents, no punctuation marks.

NO MINOR REGISTRATIONS WILL BE PROCESSED ON SITE. MINORS WERE REQUIRED TO PRE-REGISTER BY MARCH 30TH, NO EXCEPTIONS WILL BE MADE.

The registration desk is not a place to go for information or just hang out. If you have questions pertaining to the convention you may ask at the information desk in the lobby, or ask at operations in the boardroom. If you don't have any business at the registration desk, please refrain from loitering in the area.

Current attendance totals will not be given out to attendees so please do not ask the registration staff. An official count of our registration numbers will be announced at closing ceremonies.
