-
-On the first day we'll be plugged into the digital event together and on the second we'll do field trips.

 ### live music jam
 
-Meat edition guests are encouraged to bring small sound or music emitting devices. We'll set them up with recording system and do some jamming. Some synthesizers and a sampler will be provided.
+A benefit of being at ~vil's house is: they have a music studio! It's very small and people will inevitably sleep in it but it means we will have a sound system to plug into and several instruments. There will multiple guitars and electric basses as well as various synthesizers. Feel free to bring your own sound making devices.

+## PHYSICAL EVENT

+**please rsvp to this event by re-running this command and selecting the RSVP option**
+
+Arrival on the 17th is encouraged! There's nothing structured but it means you can get settled and meet other townies as they show up.
+
+On the 18th we'll be plugged into the digital event together and on the 19th we'll do field trips.
 
 ### VENUE and LODGING
 
-TO BE DETERMINED
+The venue this year...is ~vilmibm's house. It's a weird choice but let's roll with it. I'm not going to list my address openly but for planning purposes you can use the North Berkeley BART Station as a map point.
 
-The total cost to book this venue was **$TBD**. If you want to chip in:
+I'll message my address directly to people as they confirm their attendance.
+
+Instead of paying for a venue I intend to purchase a fleet of air mattresses and bedding for folks. My house isn't massive but it should be able to fit up to 20 people. There are couches and some private areas for couples. There's also backyard space if you really feel like camping.
+
+If you don't feel like sleeping in such, ah, cozy arrangements Berkeley features several hotels. Any of the hotels on Shattuck near the University are reasonably priced and walking distance to my place.
+
+So far town con has cost **$0**. I'll update this as I start buying stuff for the event. If you want to chip in:
 
 - paypal: `nateksmith@pm.me`
 - venmo: `@vilmibm`
 
 ### PARKING
 
-TBD
+My neighborhood is very easy to park in. I also have a driveway if you want to stow your car in it.
 
 ### FOOD
 
-TBD
+Another perk of not renting a venue means I can spend freely on food for us; it's my intention to purchase food piles for each meal during the con for attendees.
 
 ### TRANSPORTATION
 
-TBD
+BART goes from the airport to right near my house. I have a car and can provide rides to people, too, if needed as my schedule permits.
 
 ### ACTIVITIES
 
 The second day of MEAT EDITION is for field trips. Some suggestions:
 
-- vilmibm led Internet Archive HQ tour
+- vilmibm-led Internet Archive HQ tour
+- go play retro video games and look at lots of old computing magazines at a retro game museum
 - go to a thrift store
-- go out to minigolf
 - go to a museum
 - go into the woods
 - just hang out and play synths (field trip of the mind)
 
-!!! TBD !!!
