Friday, September 14, please check-in at the hotel in the early afternoon.
Be on the lookout for signage directing you to our Hospitality Suite, “Inara’s Shuttle” on the Second Floor. Volunteers will be on staff there from 3:00pm onward to handle registration. If you bought a T-shirt (or two), you can pick it up there as well.
Gallery of ‘Verse Collectables and Creations will also be open starting at 3:00pm. If you are arriving later, do check the on-site schedule for when you can admire the goodies.
Random unorganized entertainment is on deck for the afternoon. Note that we have yet to receive approval from the hotel for a gosling juggling contest. We’ll let you know if that changes. Lunch is on your own if you arrive early. The hotel has a bar and restaurant.
The evening’s Unification Day Renunciation Party will begin at 6:30pm at The ABQ Grill restaurant located on the first floor of the hotel.

Once the party closes down, a late night movie screening or gaming may spontaneously combust, er, commence.
