Thanks for the questions, and I hope you make it! Here’s are my answers, happy to answer more/follow-ups.
Summer Camp is our name for the chill period between the two festival weekends. We’ve already sold ~100 tickets just for Summer Camp, so it’s gonna be active.
SFO and OAK. You can get the Bart from SFO and then walk the last 20 mins. Google maps says that there’s also public transport from Oakland (which to be clear is a fair bit closer than SFO). I haven’t gone that route before, I think it might involve buses.
There’s a few places people will be sleeping. They both have two showers that are right nearby and then there are lots more communally accessible ones dotted around campus (taking like 30-60 seconds to walk there). We’ll stick a map up.
My guess is in one location it’ll be 8 people for the 2 showers, and in the other location it could get to be many more people, and extra folks will need to do a little walking.
About 4 are one block away in our Ellsworth house. The rest are on site (mostly building E).
We had a 250-person event here last year, WiFi was generally fine. A few parts of campus are spotty (typically the outer edges). (We care a lot about WiFi issues and our team is down to help debug them.)
Thanks. I thought of two more questions after posting:
Any laundry facilities? (i.e. if I stay a week, will I need clothes for a week?)
Any refunds if I book a bed/ticket and can’t make it? (I’ll understand if not, of course; but I have another, much busier event (Momocon) the weekend before, so there’s an elevated chance I’ll catch con plague at the least convenient possible time)
[edit]: Possible bug report: I notice one of the shared-dorm rooms has different (higher) pricing than all the others, despite identical descriptions.
Yes. We have two or three (slightly hard to access) laundry machines on-site, and a laundrettes just down the street. I’m not sure what the default situation will end up being, but you’ll be able to do laundry.
I’m pretty happy to give people refunds if something surprising happens and they come to the evet. I reserve the right to change my mind at any time if I think someone is abusing my trust somehow.

Thanks! Fixed the bug.
