Parking

Hotel Parking - Nearby Lots - Oversize Parking

BTD Announces Parking Meter Changes in the City. Meter rates will go up $.25 an hour on city meters. A quarter will now only get you 12 minutes of time. Retrofitting meters begins this weekend, and the city hopes to be done by the end of January.

Pool and Gym

The Westin Waterfront has an heated indoor pool, hot tub, and a gym.

We'll be working with the hotel to extend the hours of the pool and gym for our attendees.

The Westin also has a few hotel guest rooms that come with exercise equipment (including a stationary bicycle or a treadmill). If you would like one of these rooms, please contact innkeeper.

Registration Rates Going Up Tonight

The registration rates for Arisia go up to $40 from $35 tonight.

If you would like to register at this rate please print out and mail in the paper registration form (online registration yet is not yet available). Questions as always should be addressed to reg(at)arisia(dot)org.

Notes from the Conchair:
Hi! This is Crystal, your friendly neighborhood conchair.

The ramp-up for Arisia 2011 is becoming a wave of excitement as we enter the final weeks before the convention! We have a bit higher number of preregistrations than at this time last year, which could mean that people are registering earlier than previous years, or it could mean that this Arisia will be slightly larger than any before. Due to the larger capacity of the Westin Waterfront, we expect to be able to accommodate lots of fans. At this time, we aren't sure if we will sell out of memberships, but the best way to make sure you can join us is by preregistering online.

If you have a specific question about this year's Arisia, check out our contact page to see how to reach us or take a look at our Org Chart. If you have a more general question, you can always email [email protected]. Now is the season of flooding the conchair's inbox, as well, so please email [email protected] if you feel your question is best addressed by me (or Jasra or Cris, the assistant conchairs). :) Additionally, you also drop in at a concom meeting or during conchair office hours, all of which are posted to Arisia's calendar.

See you at Arisia, if not before!

- Crystal
