Squeak! Our preliminary schedule is posted! This mainly covers things like main events and gives you an idea of what is happening when. Future version of the schedule will include things like Hospitality Suite hours, for those able to access it as well as panels and individualized entries for each DJ's set during the dances. ^_^

We forgot what else we were going to say, but we cannot risk losing our airhead cred. ^_^

You may need to clicky the link again and/or refresh.

Hotel – Get Out The Float https://share.google/BrHRHiM2pHi3RnPYs

We just learned that there are rooms available at Inn at Seaside, across the street from the convention center. They are a bit more expensive than our room block at Ebb Tide, but much closer. ^_^

Inn at Seaside is still marked as "Sold Out" on our website. With fewer than two dozen rooms available, we might not update the website at this time.

The laser tag signup forms for GOTF 2026 are created!
The waitlist has more than five spots, but only the top five spots are shown. ^_^

May we present to you the 2026 GOTF Vendors List!
It would be a vendor map but we have to keep Finneus away from the water colors.
FINNEUS, TAKE THAT OUT OF YOUR MOUF. NOW!

Squeak! We are looking for more volunteers working in Operations, Badge Check and Toysitting. All volunteers receive their daily ration of Roady's Ramen as well as a complimentary registration, based on hours volunteered. Clicky for details!

https://getoutthefloat.com/bouncy-castle-rules This just in! Our professional airheads were able to reduce the number of bouncy castle rules from 17 to 12, as can be seen in the image above.

Finneus is either a great example of how to follow a rule, or the reason a rule exists in the first place. If you have questions about a rule in the inflatables area, seek out a Toysitter. ^_^

Behold, our 2026 GOTF Vendor Map! To help grow with the convention, we now have 20% more tables and more variety of goods than ever before! To take a sneak peek, we also included links to everyone's sites. ^_^
