Question: Where do contestants park?
Answer: There are no special places to park for contestants. If you show up early enough on Saturday you can probably park behind the Convention Center (on the east side). They do charge for parking in that area, but you can enter the GRB from the back to set up your arrangement. There are no "in and out" privileges on parking.
Question: Should contestants give their names to Dan Lawlor so they will be on the official "Volunteers" list?
Answer: This would be best. If your name has been turned in, and you can't get in the back of the Convention Center early Saturday, you can still get in without paying at the "Will Call" window.
Question: Do contestants have to tell Robin Hough rzhough@earthlink.net or Dan Lawlor dplawlor@pdq.net that they are entering so we have enough space?
Answer: That was our goal. However, if you have failed to do this, come on down anyway. We will squeeze you in.
