Laser Tag for two teams of up to 10 furries per team. Prior to starting, all team members need to register their nickname and some basic information at a kiosk located near the front of the arcade. This can be done at any point when the arcade is open. At the arcade operator’s and GOTF staff member’s discretion, these matches may include members of the public who happen to want to play laser tag. The referee will facilitate the games. While playing laser tag, we recommend that you wear normal clothes so that you have good traction in the arena. At the discretion of carousel mall employees, fursuiters may be allowed in between laser tag sessions for photo ops.

We make the most of the bouncy castles while we have them at Get Out The Float! Early in the convention, time on the castles is set aside for convention staff. Further in to the convention, we have Sponsor Bounce, Patron Bounce as well as Fursuit Bounce. In addition, the bouncy castles may make unique seating with uniquely bad views of the main stage during Opening and Closing Ceremonies. -Bouncy Castle Rules- 1. Primary entrance to the Pacific Room is through Badge & Shoe check area. The use of other doors is for staff or emergencies only. 2. Badges, badge clips, shoes, spikes, pins, and any other sharp objects must be checked and stored at Badge & Shoe check to reduce risk of injury or damage to property. 3. No running on the polished concrete floor. It hurts. We checked. 4. Bouncy house are made for jumping on; inflatable toys are not. 5. Inflatable toys are not allowed in bouncy castles during open bounce. 6. No horseplay or rough housing in the area. It can hurt. We checked. 7. Be sure to respect others & respect the property of others. 8. Follow instructions from staff. 9. If main lights are flipped on & off several times in a row and/or the music stops, stop bouncing for these are signs we need to get everyone’s immediate attention. 10. One castle will have a sign near its entrance designating it the “vibing castle.” Please respect those who want to feel the wubs; so do not bounce on this castle if it has occupants. 11. If a bouncy castle is overloaded, it will lose pressure and begin to deflate under the weight. Do not bounce on a castle in such condition. 12. Lost and found for bouncy castle area is at Badge/Shoe check; however lost valuables will be taken to F.L.A.R.E. as soon as they are discovered. 13. Youth should be supervised by their guardians. Kids and other adults should use caution if using the same castle at the same time. 14. If you see anyone not following these rules, inform the staff immediately.

Want to learn how to tape down and tidy up cables for AV and general convention setups and teardowns? Need a refresher on how to coil or gaff cables? Want to turn every charging cable into a fidget toy? Feel free to drop by and play with cables for an hour. I recommend bringing a cable such as a phone-charging cable in case ConOps isn't happy with me borrowing their supplies.
