What Should I Wear?

San Jose is in the Bay Area.
The convention is in September.
We suggest you plan on it being warm, or breezy. Plan for both. A hoodie, sweatshirt, pull-over, etc might be a good idea.

Weather reports can be followed on weather.com

Help! I want a Roommie!

We'd love to help, but we're swamped planning. We strongly recommend bringing your friends along and rooming with them. If that isn't an option, try the various facepainting forums. You could meet your new facepainting best friend that way!

So, nekkid people?

Yes, but only in the privacy of their own rooms. This is a family friendly and strictly PG convention. We will not hesitate to talk with individuals if we feel they are getting out of line. We also reserve the right to ask offending individuals to leave. Please note: Individuals asked to leave will forfeit their registration fee.

Also, how lame would it be to get kicked out of a PG Convention? That's, like, sooooo Junior High.

Define PG, pretty please?

Simply put: shorts and a shirt.

Less simply put: Would it be acceptable to be walking around on the street in those clothes? We'll be sharing the hotel with other guests, and we've promised to be well behaved. Help us keep our promises.

Who is this 'Max' chick, and why is she so awesome?

Because. Just because. Accept it and carry on, that will make things much easier.

Oh, ok, she's also our Webmaster, Web dev, Web designer, the holder of all tech knowledge, and has wicked-mad computer skillz.

She's also the one writing the faq.

Wait...Max is a girl? or I thought Amanda was the web master?

Named 'Amanda' at birth, our beloved web master is continually bitter that she's the only child (in five) who is named after no one. As kind of a sad form of rebellion she goes by the self-chosen name 'Max.' She answers to both.
It confuses us, too.

How many ping pong balls does it take to fill a standard size school bus?

If you know this one, let us know. We're dying to find out!
