Hey folks... there's a few things we're changing from last year.. intead of making you guys hunt thru year-old posts for those changes, I'm just gunna put them here.
1. We will once again allow people to bring alcohol into the Room of Wrockquirement... but only for the dance parties.
That's the DANCE PARTIES, not the concerts themselves. We're doing this since it seemed that most people skipped the dance parties last year in favor of drinking back in the cabins. Well, the dance parties are part of what makes Wrockstock so much fun, it's one giant party that EVERYONE is welcome to attend, it's a great way to socialize without having to have a ton of people in your room or cabin.
All booze must be in a non-glass container with a spill-proof lid. Staffers will be authorized to ask you to dump out any drinks in open cups, bottles, etc... or at least go to your room and get an empty soda bottle or something....
no glass, no open containers, no coffee cups, no fast food cups... please. The Lodge sells cheap plastic sports bottles or bring your own.
2. Organized/Promoted Parties - Some fan groups, websites, blogs, etc have thrown parties in their cabins to celebrate their group or whatever... even though everyone had a great time and it was kept under control... those gatherings still got a little too large and a little too loud last year.
There's only so much room in the cabins and their porches and the parties last year ended up overflowing too close to where other people were sleeping, blocking people's way to their cabins, etc... so we kinda want do do away with these.
If you feel that it is VITAL to your organization to have some kind of "thing" at Wrockstock, email me and we'll discuss it.
3. Impromptu/Unscheduled Deck concerts - Not happening again unless Wrockstock decides we want to add something like that... If your band wants to play at Wrockstock, either wait to be invited to play the mainstage or sign up for the Willow. Those deck shows completely fouled up the schedule last year, so we're not doing it again. Too many people skipped meals, lost track of time, etc, etc and by the time Sunday afternoon rolled around, the entire event was two hours off schedule and we can't let it get that out of hand again. Granted, the music and atmosphere was lovely, but still, it made for a lot more work for my already overworked staff and the staff of the Lodge.
Sorry, guys. We have the Willow for the very purpose of "bonus" acoustic shows, so let's use it.
Oh, and I'm contemplating creating a three strikes rule about people wearing their passes. I don't care if you're JK Rowling herself, you're not getting into the ROW or the Willow without YOUR pass visible on the outside of your clothing.
People who have to be asked repeatedly or give the Security team a hard time over this may run the risk of that pass being revoked entirely.... We have our reasons for requiring you all to wear your passes, guys... please respect that.
That's it for now.... Hope you're all making your plans and stuff!!!
