<p>1) yes and no. wesfest and soc weekend run side by side but nothing is stopping you from hopping around. you don’t have to choose one over the other; in fact, don’t!</p>
<p>2) yes. yes yes yes. and it’s strongly encouraged, too. they’ll give you a list of classes you can attend, but realistically, if you find a class chances are you can sit in on it, even if it’s not on the list.</p>
<p>3) i was only there for about 12 hours and had the time of my life. of course you’ll miss things, but in my case it was still worth it.</p>
<p>4) i think it starts a day or two before wesfest and then runs to sunday, but i’m not sure.</p>
