Food, Parking, and Etc.

Posted by tigercon on

Ahoy – someone reminded me that this probably isn’t common knowledge, but just to be clear:

  • If you’re driving, you should park in the West Village Garage, which is right by the building. Check out the Directions page, where more specific maps / directions have just been added
  • There is some food in the building : Jamba Juice, Coyote Jack’s Grill, and Convenience Store on the first floor, and the Buffet style Cafeteria on the 2nd floor, all have some open hours on Saturday. I’ve been informed that there is an  ATM present, as well.
  • You can check out the specific hours, some of the menu, and most importantly,OMG PRICES, by just checking it out on the school’s Dining page, here.
  • I probably don’t have to say this, but common sense and courtesies in the open lobby / lounge area, yeah?
  • Less than 2 days away? … how did that happen?

Cosplay Contest?!

Posted by tigercon on

Ahoy!

Did I mention that we’re trying to have a Cosplay Hall Contest?
Because we’re totally trying to have a Cosplay Hall Contest.

So, if you’re coming as your favorite character, and you wanna be in the Hall Contest, or maybe just strut your stuff for the Fashion Show, go on and sign up! There’s no deadline for this (and of course, you can sign up on the day of, as well), but why not fill out the form and let us know? This is the sort of event that’s only as good as the number people who are willing to participate, so go on, sign up, show off a little.

 

Form can be found on the Cosplay page, which clicking this very sentence will whisk you away to! 

Support a good cause with the Tiger Can Town project!

Posted by tigercon on

Ahoy hoy, all.

We’ve been contacted recently by a person attempting to organize a branch of the Can Town Project, a la’ Homestuck, for those meeting up at Tigercon. The deal seems to be that canned goods will be collected throughout the day, a town is made, and photographs of the awesomeness then taken.

This is pretty awesome, and the canned good will be donated to a local food bank, so hey, bring something in so they can build an epic castle of charity and goodwill!

More information about the entire Can Town Project can be found here, on their tumblr, or here, on their Facebook. 

More information about the specific event being organized for Tigercon can be found right here, on the Tumblr.
