Advise for First Time Males Going

In summary, as a first-time male cook, it's important to have the right tools in your kitchen such as a chef's knife, cutting board, measuring cups, and basic utensils. Some easy meals for beginners include pasta dishes, stir-fries, and one-pan meals, and learning basic cooking techniques can be done through classes, online tutorials, and cookbooks. Common mistakes to avoid include improper measuring, not allowing enough time for food to cook, and not seasoning properly. To make cooking more enjoyable and less stressful, choose recipes that interest you, make substitutions or adjustments, clean as you go, and remember to have fun and not be too hard on yourself.

I try and bring this up as a caution for the guys going.
Since this is a huge event with 99% female attendance, most of the male bathrooms will be turned into female to help with the long lines. Some will have both using with a door watch for the guys.
My advise is to find the ones that have not been changed before you have to go. Three places that always work is upstairs over the auditorium. There's one on each side. The far side of the dining room is another. The last place that stays male is on the far west end of the building where they usually have a few classes. There might be more if you look around.
 
Last year, there was also one to the right at the bottom of the stairs going down in the auditorium lobby. I called this one "secret bathroom".
 
Thank you for sharing this information. As a male attending this event, I will definitely keep this in mind and try to find the male bathrooms that have not been changed. It's always helpful to have insider tips like this. Thanks again for the heads up!
