With current temperatures in Pittsburgh this week, our medical team wants to remind you:

🥤 Keep a water bottle with you at all times
🚰 Drink at least a quart of water every hour to rehydrate

You wouldn't want to end up on the next episode of The Pitt, would you? 🚑

Even the most stalwart critters need to keep their health up and keep the con crud away! Everyone should follow the 6-2-1 rule minimums every day:

😴 6 hours of sleep
🍲 2 hot meals
🧼 1 shower, including fresh clothes + deodorant

Your body and everyone around will thank you!

Our complimentary hotel transportation service provided by Lenzner Travel, PTG, and Gray Hare Express begins at 8 AM on all routes each convention day! 🚌🛺😺
