So the event is going to happen from the 17th to the 19th, but my question is; when are the convention doors going to open on the 17th and the opening ceremonies begin? My friends and I plan on driving from Spokane, WA, so I am trying to see if we can save money by not reserving the hotel for the 16th and drive over there late at night on the 16th/early 17th. That way we would only have to book 2 nights and not 3 =D. Thoughts?

Tenative plan is to open registration at 8 AM and have opening ceremonies at 10 AM to start the con officially.

When does it end on Friday? I may be arriving rather late in the day.

It runs until Sunday evening... So, um, all night.

That's cool! I am more familiar with some cons having a daily schedule and a set time to end each day as well.

My group and I may be arriving pretty late on Friday evening. Maybe between 7 and 8. Can you tell me at this point if we'll be missing anything that won't be available on the other days?

Most conventions in the Northwest are all-night affairs. Especially the ones held in hotels.
