If you have a badge, you can eat for free all weekend!
If you have dietary restrictions and don't see something you can eat--in Grab and Go or Main--please ask a volunteer or staff member: we work to accommodate kosher, halal, and many food allergies, but we don't always have these items out because they're limited and we want to make sure they go to the folks who really need them.

Main entree: Pizza (Cheese or Pepperoni)
GF/Vegan entree: Gluten Free, Vegan Pizza

Kosher/Halal food will be labeled if available

* Subject to change based on availability
* Talk to ConSuite Staff if you have dietary restrictions and don't see something you can eat. We may have something hidden away in limited quantities just for you, so even if it's busy, please ask!

Lines can get long, and there are some cozy spaces in ConSuite. If you have difficulty standing for long periods or navigating tight corners, please talk to the Accessibility folks--we don't want that to be a barrier to you getting meals!

Please try out our Hospitality Suite just down the hall to eat.

Slay the Princess

Saturday April 5, 2025 10:00pm - 11:00pm EDT

Maplewood A

You're on a path in the woods, and at the end of that path is a cabin. And in the basement of that cabin is a Princess.

You're here to slay her. If you don't, it will be the end of the world.

She will do everything in her power to stop you. She'll charm, and she'll lie, and she'll promise you the world, and if you let her, she'll kill you a dozen times over. You can't let that happen. Don't forget, the fate of the world rests on your shoulders.

You're not going to listen to him, are you? We're supposed to save princesses, not slay them...
