Tomorrow the Colorado geek convention season restarts! NDK is going to be at the Gaylord of the Rockies Friday - Sunday. Before we all gather I did want to give some people reminders of what to expect at the new location.
1) Masks are required for the convention. Given the crowd I look forward to all your geeky face wear.
2) There are plans for a number of food trucks to come to the hotel. So if the restaurants are a bit much you can eat outside! And don’t skip meals, that is bad for your health and could cause you to miss more then a single panel. Plus no one likes a hangry attendee.
3) Parking at the hotel will run $18.95 per day for con attendees. This is cheaper then Spot Hero at $22.00 per day (I just looked before typing this up) but is more expensive then some surrounding locations. There is also the option to park at the 61st & Pena RTD station (or just take the light rail) and use the shuttle that runs every 30 minutes on the 15 and 45 of each hour. Also, don’t park in the surrounding neighborhood. You will get towed and then you will wish you paid for parking.
4) The weather is forecast is low to mid 80’s and sunny. DRINK WATER. You don’t want to be the person that faints from heat stroke. Seriously.
5) People can be gross, and there will be a lot of them. Keep some hand sanitizer in your bag.
6) You have heard to a million times but now, but if you feel sick, stay home. Being patient 0 at the con this year could have much more serious consequences then normal. You don’t want to be the person responsible for 1/4 of all cosplayers in Colorado being in the hospital next week.
And that is all I have. I look forward to seeing people at NDK this year, and for many years to come.
