Geoff: You CAN park in the Ft. Mason parking lot, but theyll charge you. We have no contgrol over parking fees. For cars, its $8/day. For RVs, theres some exorbitant fee like $50/day. Im not exactly sure what it is, but it may be as much as $100. The parking lot itself is massive, and wont have any problems with space. Last year, we had 2 or 3 RVs there the whole week, so there is precedent for this kind of thing.

This is an OK arial photo. The shadows belie how much parking space is available.

Rick Russ can teach you teh fine art of BBQ if you guys park next to each other.

Tim: The hostel is great. Drunken stumbling distance from the venue. Your bots can be left at the venue though (we have paid security, although I can never 100% guarantee anything. We just do our best to reduce targets of opportunity. But with 5000 sq meters, you cant cover all the avenues of theft.)

All: Feathers and ants (1 lb) are now full to the buffer (26.) Email me and Ill put you on the waitlist for either. Lots of room still for 150g - what we call fairies and you call ants. With registration this hot at 9 months out, I expect most classes to get full.

I really hope more 100kg bots can make it.
