Accomodations
You are welcome to drive directly to the dojo (3+ hours from the LV though,) grab a hotel room, or contact Sempai Nether about taking one of the Maryland students up on their offer of a free place to sleep.

Car pooling
The dojo isn’t organizing carpools, so talk to your fellow students about who is going.

That said, we will leaving Friday afternoon (~2) and returning late Sunday night. I have room for one (or two) passengers if anyone would like to join me. I’ll be staying at Cara Michele’s house and I understand she has room for a few more people. Please let me know if you would like to ride with me.

Reminder about Allentown Fair, and parking

Posted on by

exclamation-pointRemember that this is the Allentown Fair week, and weekend. You WILL need an extra 10 minutes or so just for your DRIVE to the dojo!

Parking?

Your easiest option is to simply pay a few dollars to park at any of the countless businesses around the dojo which are charging to use their lots.

You may also use the few parking spaces DIRECTLY behind the dojo. When you pull in behind the dojo, the spaces on the right side, behind the part of our building which sticks out — those are our spaces. Please do not park on the left side of our little parking lot — those are our neighbor’s spaces. Please do not try to park in the lot ASIDE of our building; That is a different piece of property, and they are not friendly about parking.
