Guests are still being lined up. As they are confirmed, I'll post the information here. This year, a limited number of reserved seat tickets will be sold to those guests who want to sit in the balcony.

Several people have written to me asking how they make reservations. The BlobFest is open to everyone, no reservations are required. If you want to attend the breakout recreation, try to arrive by 9:30, last year the theater was quite full. The Theater is located at 227 Bridge Street in Phoenixville, PA (a Philadelphia suburb).
