1) Weapons policy: All weapons must be peace-bonded; no projectile weapons of any type may be carried or used. If it even looks like it could be used to shoot something, our very large, very nasty looking security people reserve the right to "borrow" it for the remainder of the weekend.
2) Please wear your badge at all times. Persons not wearing badges may be asked to leave the function areas. Burden of proof of lost badges rests with the badge loser, not the convention staff.
3) The pool area is open until midnight each night; please respect the hotel's wishes that there be no swimming after that time. A hotel room key is required to unlock the door leading to the pool.
4) All children under 13 years of age must be accompanied by an adult when in the convention areas (programming rooms, huxter and art show rooms, etc.).
5) The drinking age in Iowa is 21; no alcoholic beverages may be served to anyone born after March 23, 1969. The barkeep on duty reserves the right to card anyone, even if I.D. has been presented previously at the registration desk. Lawsuits in this state have been known to get nasty.
6) No smoking is permitted in any of the function areas except the specially-designated "smoking room" of the consuite area. Don't make us have to act the ugly non-smoker, 'cause we will if we hafta.
7) If you have any problems or complaints concerning the convention or the hotel (other than problems about your personal room), please contact a DemiCon staff member first. Talking fan-to-fan can be a lot more pleasant than having a shouting match with a hotel clerk who's still bewildered about all the funny clothes. Our staff can "interface" with hotel personnel to solve difficulties if required.
