Steampunk World's Fair

Okay, so we have registered for the Steampunk World's Fair. Who of my LJ friends has been and can tell me when things get started and how long they go for? There isn't a schedule posted yet, so all I know is there's a tea on Friday starting at 4pm and the fashion show is sometime on Sunday.

Do we need to get there Thursday or is Friday around noon soon enough? Does it run through Sunday night?

Haven't made hotel reservations yet and need to, so any and all help is most welcome. Thanks!
