Spectators are not allowed at PDXLAN unless they are media. PDXLAN is not a "typical' LAN or social gathering, it is more like a MLB / NBA / NHL / NFL / Concert where a PAID admission is required to get in. This is done with the safety of the attendees in mind. At anytime a parent, or family guardian wishes to communicate with their child, the child must come out of the room into the lobby. If your child needs paged, we can do that, but your child may come out very red, and embarassed.

Make sure you have a communication method set up BEFORE the lan with your parent / child/family/friends. Pretend you ARE at a concert or sports event, how would friends/family get a hold of you there? Likely, that answer will help you devise a plan to meet at PDXLAN.
