[size=+2]HOW TO GET TO THE VENUE FOR THE POWER OF SCIENCE:[/size]
This is where the venue is located (yay google maps). it's on the corner of scott st and ridge st.
if you're taking the train it's easy enough to get to from either virginia station or northgate station (as you can see on the map) you just get off, walk up either gympie st (not gympie road, they're completely different) if you're coming from northgate or belmore if you're coming from virginia and turn up scott st.
this is what virginia station looks like after you've come out of it onto the right st. so if you leave teh station and turn around and it doesn't look like this YOU ****ED UP.
this is what northgate station looks like etc etc
the easiest way to get there by car from probably where most of you are coming from will be from gympie road. to do that, turn right at rode road, follow it all the way to the end and turn left onto sandgate road. right onto northgate road soon after that, then left onto ridge st a bit down that road.
or you can go down hamilton road (turn towards westfield chermside) to the end and turn right onto sandgate and first left onto northgate (sharp turn).
this is what the venue looks like from the front when you're at the ridge st/scott st intersection (on ridge st)
however, we're using a room downstairs because it's cheaper and still big enough. from scott st (looking towards ridge st) it looks like this:
i circled the door to our room. park on teh st or next to the hall i don't care.
for lunch, get somebody who's driving to take you to westfield chermside. to get there get on sandgate then get to hamilton road (look back up at the first map to figure out how to do that, or google maps it yourself). travel down hamilton until you get to the westfield.
