We would like people to sign up only if they can attend the entire day; however we obviously can't stop you from getting a spot on the registration list and only showing up for half of the program. Just keep in mind that there is really no way we could give the other half of your registration to someone else so it would essentially be wasted.

Git or no, I love him, and I will be there come hell or high water!

I am registered for Portus, my first ever HP Con! Squeee!

Do you need to be already registered for Portus before you register for Snapefest, or can you register for Snapefest first and then for Portus afterwards?

You will have to be already registered for Portus before registering for Snapecast. The registration will actually be handled via the same system as the Portus registration.

must we do the full registration or may we just get a day-pass in order to attend SnapeFest? I really want to go for thursday and friday nights, but I don't see a reason for me to go on saturday or sunday night.

As long as you are registered for Portus in some manner (including a day pass), you may register for SnapeFest.

However remember that day passes for Portus are only available for Friday and Saturday programming so Thursday passes aren't an option. Also the day passes won't give you access to the Portus Welcoming Feast or Leaving Feast.

This doesn't appear to be on the FAQ. What time does the registration start on January 9th? Just after the stroke of midnight?

Snapefest is the reason I decided to go to Portus, so I'm a wee bit excited to register. Thanks!

Registration will open at 8 PM EST. We've posted some new information about registration here.

can I start a thread about lodgings and room-mate search?

Sure. Everyone is free to start a thread about anything as long as it remotely relates to Snape or SnapeFest. FYI there is already a thread about room sharing on the main board (http://www.hpef.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=8), but if you need one here feel free to put it up as well.
