Next Puget Sound Filk

Just a reminder:

We're doing a late filk this month.

When: September 23rd, starting at 6PM or so and running till we fall asleep
Where: House of Lights & Music - 5432 Windemere Dr SE, Olympia WA

       (directions below)
What: General filking of either a chaotic or bardic nature

How:   By lifting voices and instruments and making much merry
Why:   Because we haven't filked for a _long_ while...
Who:   You, me, and whomever else comes.

Note -> for those who might be interested, on May 19th, the Olympia Singing Circle will be meeting here starting at 7ish. This is a "hymnal" style circle based on "Rise Up Singing" expect a lot of folk songs. And earlier in the day on the 20th will be an open house for co-workers/neighbors/UU congregation members and anyone else who chooses to show up. Finally, Sunday evening is the Olympia Unitarian Universalist Choir spring concert. I'm just having one big party all weekend.

There's plenty of crash space. But please let me know ahead of time if you'll need space.

• UPDATE: It looks like quite a few people will be here Saturday night. So if you're planning on crashing, bringing along sleeping equipment is probably a good idea. We have space galore, but perhaps not enough covers to go around.

There is one cat type furball (who will be excluded from the singing area if need be) in residence.

Blessings,
Douglas McCorison

>From the North -

I-5 South to Exit 109 - College St./Martin Way (note the immediately previous exit is Mar_v_in Rd., do not take that one)
replyreply>From the ramp, right. This is Martin Way. Immediately get in the left
lane and into the left turn lane.

At the first light, turn left. This is College St. You will be heading south. Now go quite a ways... 3 & 1/2 miles. There will be a Safeway to your left and a traffic light as College intersects Yelm Highway. Turn right.

You will now be going West on Yelm Highway (away from Yelm). Pass two traffic lights (the first is Corporate Park Loop, the second is Normandy). Now watch on your right for a white fence labeled "Woodsmuir". Turn right immediately before the fence. This puts you on Donnelly Rd. This T-ends with Donnelly going right and Windemere turning left. Turn left. (You can get there by turning right, but that's longer.) Follow Windemere. The sixth house on the right is my humble abode, The House of Lights & Music. It is yellow with a 3' brick fascia on the front.

>From the South -

I-5 North to Exit 101 - Airdustrial Way.
reply>From the ramp, turn right on Airdustrial Way.
Proceed almost 2 miles on Airdustrial Way SE. It will T end on Henderson Blvd SE.
Turn left. Proceed North on Henderson Blvd SE for just under 1.5 miles. You will come to a traffic signal. This is Yelm Highway. Turn right.

reply>From Henderson Blvd. and Yelm Highway:
Proceed 2 miles East. You will pass three traffic lights. The third will be Wiggins Rd. Be on the lookout for a white fence with "WoodsMuir" on it. This is the entrance you want. Turn left. This puts you on Donnelly Rd. This T-ends with Donnelly going right and Windemere turning left. Turn left. (You can get there by turning right, but that's longer.) Follow Windemere. The sixth house on the right is my humble abode, The House of Lights & Music. It is yellow with a 3' brick fascia on the front.

replyreply>From in town Olympia -

Get on Capitol Blvd southbound (assuming you're north of the brewery). Proceed to Cleveland Ave. There's a Safeway just off Capitol Blvd on Cleveland. If you get to the brewery, you went too far. Turn left on Cleveland Ave. As you proceed on Cleveland it will bend left and turn into Yelm Highway. Pretty soon you'll see a YMCA on the left and come to a traffic light. This is Henderson Blvd. (Note: they're threatening construction on this route and may in fact be in process by May. If so, the detour will almost certainly bring you south on Henderson into this intersection. Turn left.) Now follow the directions above from Henderson & Yelm Highway Received on 09/14/00
