DO NOT bring alcohol onto the JMU campus. It is not allowed.

AFTER CON HOURS - MACADOS
For after hours on Friday and Saturday,we will have a dinner at Macado's. http://www.macados.net/locations/
Scroll down to Harrisonburg, VA location. They are open til 12:30AM It is literally up the road from the convention and is closer than the IHOP. They have excellent food for great prices and lots of beer on draft and a full bar. The atmosphere is excellent and so is the food!

Hotels: Most people stay at the Courtyard Marriott; there is also Jameson Inn, Residence Inn and Fairfield Inn nearby. All the hotels are only a couple miles away from the con.

Volunteers are welcome to help up with Friday set-up, starting at 10 AM. Please post if you can help set up.

The 501st will have panels on Saturday, and we will need volunteers to escort Geek Auction victims on Saturday night.
