FAQs:

A: Everyone is welcome.

Food...?

A: In our attempt to make this Jam available to everyone we have chanrge no admission. Which we believe it to be great but it means one of two things for you, the participant:
  1. Bring Your Own: Make sure to pack up food for the event, you will be there from Saturday to Sunday afterall. We also have vending machines in the building and food places within walking distance who have agreed to give a discount to the event participants, many of them also open 24 hours. 
  2. Meal Ticket: If you dont want to have to bring food or search the area for nutirnets, we will also be selling a meal ticket on-site for $20. This ticket will cover 3 meals and we will be the ones to go fetch it for you.
