TIPS FOR OUR OUT OF TOWN GUESTS:
PARKING:
There is a limited amount of parking spaces in the lots at the venue on both the Green Street and West State Street sides of the building. There is plenty street parking in the neighborhood, though you might have to circle around a bit.
FOOD:
If you're dietarily restricted from eating Franco's Pizza (like Mickie) plan on an early arrival and stop in for a sit-down meal before the event just across State Street at Saigon Kitchen (lots of GF and vegan options). They're delicious, quick, and friendly.
