Renaissance Conference of Northern California

Saturday, 7 May 2005

Room 330 Wheeler Hall, Berkeley Campus

Advisories

Registration

Wheeler Hall: About 100 yards south-west of the Campanile, which is a good landmark if you are not familiar with the campus.

Access: All doors to Wheeler should be open on a Saturday. Wheeler is mostly "all stairs", but does have two elevators, best approached via the north-west entrance (beneath a flight of steps).

Conference Fee: $15.00 (cash, or check made out to 'Regents of the University of California'). Please pay at registration.

Parking

Free street-parking may be available on North Side of campus as restrictions on residential parking are not enforced on Saturdays; but look for other restrictions as indicated by signs.

Parking is available in most campus lots for a fee of $1.00 per hour or $7.00 for the entire day. Best come loaded with $5 and $1 bills. (The machines will take coins, but not pennies.)

Good lots, clockwise from south-east corner of campus: "Bancroft Structure" (beneath tennis courts, using south campus entrance off Bancroft, a one-way street running east-to-west); "Sproul Lot" (same as for "Bancroft Structure" but entrance is behind Sproul Hall: look for lots of police cars parked along a small entrance-road); "Dwinelle Lot" (west campus entrance, using serpentine not circular approach road, i.e., first entrance as you drive north from Bancroft Way); "Lower Hearst Structure" (north campus entrance, near foot of Euclid: huge and good as a last resort).

Count on taking 10-15 minutes to get from your parking lot to Wheeler.

It's possible to drive direct to Wheeler by using the East (up-hill) entrance to campus, but it's not usually possible to find parking this way.

Good advice: purchase your ticket at the first machine you come to, and then find a space in that lot or elsewhere.

Warning: downloading and printing this map may take almost forever!

You are strongly advised not to try street parking except on North Side, as the maximum time will probably be 2 hours and tickets are dispensed mercilessly even on Saturdays.

Lunch

You are free to eat in any local cafe or eatery, but we have notified the near-by (and excellent) Musical Offering Cafe to expect 20-30. You can choose from a menu at time of registration. You will pay for your own meal.

Aftermath: We will take an informal poll on some convenient occasion, and those interested will go after the play for drinks and/or dinner at some agreed-upon place in or near Berkeley.
