Wandering Minstrels
Throughout the weekend, we'll have designated musicians performing in public spaces (e.g. lobby, mezzanine, concourse). And if you like to jam, bring an instrument! Arisia gets plenty of musicians, and minstrels -- even when on duty, if they're not too busy -- are prime candidates for people to jam with.
