Why, yes! :)

The Castle is happening in 14E-302 and the next room over.  Directions
follow, and the route will be posted from the infinite corridor.

The Castle is happening this monday, (M.L.K. Jr and St. Roselyne's
Day) from noon to around 5pmish.  It will be an event to partake of
quiet scadian passtimes, such as the arts or games.  Garb is
encouraged, though there will probably be extremely modern tools in
profusion which will no doubt confound the atmosphere.  Likewise, the
site is not entirely ours (but no one's ever given me grief for being
in garb on campus.)

Please feel free to bring food, or for that matter do small cooking
projects; there is a small kitchen adjacent to the room, though the
armor makers may have hosied the oven (if you want to bake something,
though, just let me know and I'll parley for you).

Calligraphers and other users of pigments and inks are encouraged to
bring newspaper for the covering, and thus protection, of the tables.  

DIRECTIONS:

Get to 77 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge (it's the one with the
columns), and enter.  Go straight across the lobby, and down the
corridor, until it Ts off; turn right.  At the next major
intersection, turn left.  You now have a choice:

Elevator route: just after the glassed in walk, there will be an
elevator to your right.  Take it to the third floor, and head to other
end of the corridor.  Pass into stairwell, and exit to your right;
14E-302 will be the first door on your left.

Stairs route:  proceed to the end of the corridor, and there you will
find the Music Library on your right and a stairwell to the left.
Take the stairs to the third floor, and exit straight ahead; 14E-302
will be the first door on the left.

CAUTIONS:

One of the bits of advice I usually give people trying to navigate MIT
is "stop a native and ask for help".  Well, that won't exactly work
this time.  See, we're holding this in the *Humanities* building, and
your average MIT student isn't entirely clear where it is.  

Note: 14E IS NOT E14!!!!  I have no idea if E14 exists, but if it
does, by the MIT numbering scheme, it's near the Media Lab, on the
other side of Ames street.  If you get hopelessly lost, don't try to
ask for 14E (the East wing of 14), because you might well get directed
towards the Museum of Science; instead, ask for "Building 14" or "The
Humanites Building" or "The Music Library" (note where it falls in the
directions) or, most likely of all, "Hayden Library" [sic].  Hayden is
in *14S*, and if you don't see a sign by then, the nice folks there'll
point you in the right direction.

So, don't forget to bring your projects and amusements, and I hope to
see you there!
