When is JokiFest?
JokiFest typically ranges from a Monday through a Sunday sometime between late September and the end of October. We generally must vacate the premises on Sunday morning.
In the past only a few of us have stayed at the house throughout the week. The majority of folk have showed up on Thursday and Friday evening to spend the weekend. However, since JokiFest is so cool more and more people are spending the whole week.

Bring a computer or laptop capable of handling the games that you would like to play. In addition, you will typically need to supply a sleeping bag and/or bedsheets and a towel.
Feel free to bring your favorite drinks and a decent supply of food. In general, we usually have what you need for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Generally, we all eat together for dinner, and we usually have at least one big breakfast.
