Are you ready for the trip? Remember, US travelers to Canada must have passports. How about your other Warpstock paraphernalia? Be sure that you've got everything you need for a fulfilling trip to this year's event, and don't pass up the opportunity to post in our forums about your transportation needs or anything else, for that matter.

Let's make 2010 another successful event!

Missed the June 30, 2010 registration deadline?

By special arrangement, the Board of Directors is able to grant an
extension to the deadline for Warpstock 2010 to July 15, 2010. There
will be no further extension possible to this deadline as we have to
make guaranteed arrangements with the Conference Centre at the
University of Waterloo for accommodation and meals.

Please take advantage of this opportunity to get your registration
in today.
