[Deptheads] Trying to solve the Parking situation where we're at

[thatericn at aol.com]

We should have the same flyers at the reg desk.? That way we know everyone is up to speed.

I see an obvious problem with the schedule. People who come to the con have to 
leave too, and most people will leave in the afternoon/evening and Monday 
morning. So, we'll need a schedule closer to the reg desk hours.

We might want to have on the parking flyer we hand out what hours we will be 
offering game check.
Friday Noon to 10pm
Saturday 8am to 2pm
Sunday 8am to 2pm
Monday 10am to 3pm
The flyer should also say to go to the reg desk between hours service, which 
covers the evening.
