There may be additional parking spaces in Lot 5 or nearby Lot 17 but parking is limited due to construction works. Please carpool where possible. (You can also park in C permit spaces with the E permit in Lots 5 and 17.) You can buy additional parking permits or use pay parking – but we can’t guarantee finding spaces! Load in/load out: No cars in driveway between 12 and 7pm – those in groups A/B who are packing early can park on dirt driveway or street and carry things out. Media tour starts inside at 11.30 and finishes outside at 12.30. Meanwhile, the Block Party opens inside at 12pm for Job Fair applicants. Please try to be setup by 12 latest. Power: Everyone (except PR2s) has been allocated 2 outlets (or 4 amps -‐approximately 1 laptop & monitor). Bring everything already charged. Do not plug in extra devices without unplugging another or you may short circuit your neighbors. Other: You are welcome to move away from the veranda to tree area – if you have your own shelter and don’t need access to power. Also, please help us clean up at end of event! Food: Stanford Food Truck will be there from 12pm till 5 or 6pm. Enjoy! Afterparty: Invite all your friends and enjoy Bot&Dolly’s hospitality as we wind the Block Party down.
