Sorry for the hiatus in November and December, but homework johns ensued. Anyways, we're off to kick off the year with a tournament for those of us who can't go to APEX! Just to be clear, we HAVE NOT decided on a room for the tournament yet, but given that Northwestern has plenty of lecture halls, we will definitely find a suitable room by the 7th.
If possible, please bring setups; the more setups we have, the more efficiently the tournament can run and the more time there will be for friendlies!
1/4/12 EDIT: We have a room! Check out the "Venue" section!
1/5/12 EDIT: SINGLES HAS BEEN BUMPED UP TO 4:00.
*Venue*
Fisk 309
1845 Sheridan Rd
Evanston, IL 60208
Fisk is the upside-down T-shaped building that's outlined in white in the center of the map. The room can be found on the third floor across the hall and to the left from the auditorium balcony. The map above can be misleading because Fisk is connected the building directly north of it (Locy) and the building doesn't actually say "Fisk" on the exterior of the front entrance. Free parking can be found in the green areas.
Food can be found either in the student center to the north (although the average price is roughly $9-$10 per dish) or some fast food chains to the south such as Burger King, Chipotle, Taco Bell, Panera Bread, and more.
*Transportation*
By train: Take the Red Line to Howard, then transfer to the Purple Line. Get off the Purple Line at Foster; the venue is roughly a 15 minute walk from the stop.
By car: Get on I-94 and take the exits onto either Skokie to the north or Dempster to the south. NU is within a 10-15 min drive from either exit.
