FAQ's:

How many people may attend?
 Once we open the doors, Yahoos will be welcomed into URL's on a first -come first -serve basis until we reach the capacity. "Capacity" is defined by the fire code and prohibits Yahoo! from filling all of the standing room areas. Once we have reached capactiy, the doors will be closed. If you are interested in watching Mr. Cruise's talk on a monitor, we will have an overflow area on the 2nd floor of building C and will also play a live feed on Backyard and on the TVs in the lobbies and coffee bars. If you wish to view the event from C2, please line-up at the doors near the stairs to C2.

Who is permitted to attend?
 All Yahoos (and Yahoos only) are permitted to attend the event. You must show a purple, yellow or blue Yahoo! badge to be admitted into URL's. Friends, relatives, reporters, etc. will not be permitted to attend the event.
