We've got just a few updates and announcements for you today.

Feedback:
You've got it, we want it.  Email us your comments or login to our feedback system and let us know what you thought.  

Tshirt Charities:
We're pleased to announce that by the close of con, the amount of money raised for the EFF and IHC increased by a thousand dollars (each) from what we had announced in the closing ceremonies!  The final totals?

EFF - $6215
IHC - $6175

Thanks to all who came by.  Enjoy those shirts!

Live Streaming Stats:
According to our streaming team - 2029 unique visitors watched 1459 hours of ShmooCon this weekend.  Crazy!

Videos:
We'll start ripping those dvds in a few days and will get them up online soon as we can.  We''ll be posting speaker slides too (so speakers - *hint hint* get those sent into Heidi).

Almost Last but not Least:
Mad props to all the ShmooCon Volunteers who gave hours of their time over the last few months and certainly over the last few days.  It certainly is a pleasure to work with such amazing people.

And of course:
To all of you - whether you attended in person, via the streams, or just supported us from far far away (or maybe even as close as the lobby)...  THANK YOU.

ShmooCon Parking Passes

Posted On: 2012-01-28 13:15:15

The bad news:
Some of the original discount parking passes we received were faulty. Sorry for the hassle you may have experienced trying to use them.

The good news:
We have new discount tickets that drop the rate to $20 for self parking.

What you need to do:
Hotel guests: nothing - The hotel says it will adjust the rate for you automatically.
Commuters: Come to registration to get a new discount parking ticket. The new, correct card has a 2011 date on it and says $20.
