Arisia is having a "Relaxacon" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relaxacon) This is an opportunity for all of us to get together without having to do any real work.

Activities Include:
SMOFing
Con Den (with food and drinks - a cross between a Con Suite and a Staff Den)
Movies (perhaps a marathon Hugo Nominees viewing session?)
Pools (indoor and outdoor) and Jacuzzi
Child play area
Beach, swimming, jogging
Explore the Cape
Local trips (Provincetown?) & hikes & other sights
Whale watch
Nearby shopping, restaurants
Free Wifi Access (this was very popular last year!)
SMOFing

PLEASE JOIN US!!!

This is meant as a get together for Staff, Volunteers, friends, and others interested in Arisia. We expect there to be lots of talk about SF, SMOFing, and food / drink. People might also want to bring some light games to play. Think of it as a big Staff Den. We will have a Hospitality House on the Beach with a full kitchen, deck overlooking the ocean, and two upstairs "break-out" rooms for gaming and / or movies and / or music.

In order to provide food / drink for a Consuite, the year-ahead cost is $15 for the weekend or $10 for Friday or Saturday. Sunday is free as it is a half day (these prices will probably go up as we get closer to the event). Children under 5 are free and between 5 and 21 are half price. No babysitting is provided, so parents are responsible for their own children.
