Preregistration is now closed. (Wed, Nov 23) You may change your schedule until Saturday, Nov 26. If you have registered but not paid, please pay by Friday, Nov 25. Tables will be premustered over the weekend.
After you have had your fill of t(of)urkey but before you have gone into hibernation, come to Winter Weekend in the Pale. At this renowned end-of-year event, we will have all available Year-Four PAL and NMR scenarios, several Year-Five PAL/NMR/COR scenarios, and special convention-only activities.
Games will start on Thursday night, with three slots on each subsequent day -- a total of ten slots of gaming!
Special event: Battle interactive "Weeds", APL 2-18! It will grant half the normal XP and gp of a one-round scenario if you spend 1 TU (for Pale PCs -- 2 TU out-of-region), or full rewards if you spend double the TUs.

Transportation
San Jose airport (SJC) is just a few miles away, and the hotel has a free shuttle to and from that airport. San Francisco (SFO) and Oakland (OAK) airports are also within 35 and 45 minutes, respectively, of the hotel.
You can get to the hotel by public transit, but it takes some time and determination:
* The Valley Transit Authority (VTA) runs some busses in the area, including the #22 and the limited-stop #300, both of which run along El Camino Real in front of the hotel. Get off the bus at Lawrence Expressway or just west of it.
* You can take BART to Millbrae and transfer to a southbound CalTrain. The Lawrence station is about 2 miles from the hotel -- the closest in absolute distance, and walkable in 40 minutes (or bikable in 15-20) if you're ambitious and lightly encumbered -- or you can go to the Santa Clara station take a westbound #22 or #300 bus from there (see above). |
