p***....@g***.***.*******l.edu 04/03/1993 17:26:42 UTC STONY BROOK SCIENCE FICTION FORUM FILK NIGHT The next scheduled Open Filk Night of the Stony Brook Science Fiction Forum is Monday, April 12th, 1993, nominally starting at 7:00PM and going 'til whenever, in the Forum, Central Hall Room 032 at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, out on Long Island, a short train ride east of New York City and a slightly longer car ride (see directions below). The SF4M is a NON-SMOKING environment, and anyone caught lighting up within the room will be severely flogged. Persons wishing to smoke may, at their option, step into the hall. A limited number of electrical sockets are available for use. It should be noted that the acoustics in the room are utterly miserable, so no promises are made about recording quality. ******************** NOTE: Due to Passover, the April Open Filk Night is NOT being held on the normal first Monday of the month. ******************** Circle type: XAOC Munchies : Whatever you bring yourself. Drinks : Ditto. There is a soda machine upstairs which has been known to work on rare occasions. HOW TO GET THERE The Science Fiction Forum is located in the basement of Central Hall (aka Old Bio) on the main academic mall of the State University of New York campus at Stony Brook. Central Hall is located across the mall (more or less) from the Library and Old Chemistry, near the Engineering Loop. From points west: A) Take the Long Island Expressway (495) east to exit 62 north (Nichols Rd.) Go north until you see the University's Main Entrance on the left (a good 5-10 miles, so don't rush it; you'll cross over Rte. 347 first). - or - B) Take the Northern State Parkway east to the very end. This will bring you to Nesconset Highway/Veterans Highway. Follow this east until the road forks. Take the left fork, marked "Rte. 347 to Port Jefferson." Follow to Nichols Rd. North (a mile or two past the Smithaven Mall). Go north on Nichols Rd until you see the Univer- sity Main Entrance on the left. - or - C) Take the Southern State Parkway east to the Sagtikos Parkway North (this is a left exit). Go north until you hit either the Northern State Parkway east or LIE east. Follow either A) or B) above at your option. From points east: Take the Long Island Expressway (495) west to exit 62 north (Nichols Rd.) Go north until you see the University Main Entrance on the left (a good 5-10 miles, so don't rush it; you'll cross over Rte. 347 first). There is plenty of parking on campus. It is recommended that you _not_ park in either North or South P-Lot, as the campus buses stop running after 10pm. (Limited rides may be available from filkers back to your car, depending on how much gear you shlep with you and the size of the car). Any faculty/staff lot may be freely used after 4:30 PM. For purposes of safety and convenience, it is recommended that you park in the faculty/staff lot by Earth and Space Science and the Computer Center. It is well lit and large, and only a short walk to Central Hall. There is a parking lot directly behind Central Hall at the end of the Engineering Loop. Technically, nobody is permitted to park there without a special state permit, and when campus public safety is feeling ornery, they ticket and tow in this lot. Use at your own risk! (It's probably safe for unloading equipment, especially if there's someone willing to sit with the car.) By Silver Snail (LIRR) Port Jefferson branch east to Stony Brook Station. The station borders the campus. If campus buses are running, you may take the bus directly to the end of the Engineering Loop, which is behind Central Hall (ask the driver). Note that there is limited westbound service from the Stony Brook Station in the evenings; currently (as of this posting), trains depart at 9:58pm and 11:18pm, with no trains following until 4:26 _AM_.
