SEATING: General admission, mainly on couches, in a casual, pleasantly funky, coffeehouse-type setting
WHEN/WHERE TO MEET: Meet me out front of the Back Room by 2:30 p.m., so we can get seats together. If we miss each other outside, look for each other in the seating area. (The show is scheduled to start at 3:00 p.m. and will likely consist of two sets, ending at about 5:00 p.m.)
HOW TO FIND ME: I'm WF, about 5 feet tall, with short, salt-and-pepper hair, and glasses. (See my photo with my Meetup profile.) I'll send my cellphone number and more info to RSVPers prior to the event. If I get seated before other Meetup RSVPers, I'll post a Comment on the Meetup Event Page saying where I'm located. PLEASE TEXT ME IF YOU DON'T SPOT ME.
(NOTE: NO food or drink is sold at the Back Room, but you are free to bring your own snacks or BYOB.)
OPTIONAL POST-SHOW DINNER: At a nearby Korean fusion restaurant, on a walk-in basis. Dinner limited to 6 people (preferably Meetup members who haven't racked up a history of no-shows or late cancellations) to facilitate logistics.

PARKING: Parking is easier to find as you get away from Shattuck OR as you go north of University. There is also a paid parking lot directly across the street from The Back Room - but folks typically find free parking on side streets or main streets. http://backroommusic.com/transportation-parking/
TRANSIT/LOCATION: The Back Room is located just off University, about a block from MLK (and Trader Joe's), on AC Transit bus routes, and less than a half-mile from the downtown Berkeley BART station.
