At the party, you will have access to one (1) RJ-45 10MB port and one standard North American outlet. You will be sharing an eight foot long table with two other people. There are restrooms (yahoo!) and access to a phone for special situations. There are vending machines for pop and snacks in the Afternight lobby.
Due to the basic fact that I am not a millionaire (yet), this party will be B.Y.O.C. As in `Bring Your Own Computer'. This means that, as a participant, you will need to make sure you meet some hardware requirements. Since you will be bringing your computer into a large room with ALOT of other equipment and people, label your equipment that you want back. Get some masking tape, and a black marker, and write your name on EVERYTHING, even your underwear. This will help avoid confusion when we break down and you are trying to collect your stuff.
