Hey Gang,

  Here it is.... the official Keswick net.head.gathering announcement.  I
have decided that the "T.G.I.Friday's" in the Willow Grove Mall will make
a suitable spot.  It's about a ten minute drive from the theatre, it's VERY
easy to find, and most importantly, 21 and non-21 folks will be happy there.
  Since the show starts at 8:00, and we should all be there by 7:30, I fig-
ure we can have the gathering from around 5:30 or 6pm to 7:15 or so.  There
is also a way cool store with nifty hippie-type clothes on the 3rd floor of
the mall for folks to check out.
  Anyway, I'd like to start by giving people a few ideas about where the
theatre is, then we'll deal with with the mall.  Acutally, folks coming from
the Penna. turnpike will acutally pass the mall (practically) on the way to
the theatre.

  The Keswick Theatre is in Glenside, PA which is about 45 minutes Northeast
from Center City Phila.  Here some basic directions:

  From the PA turnpike (recommended route):
  o Take the Willow Grove exit (26??) and get on 611 South.
  o 611 South becomes York (or Old York) Road.  This is great.  In about
    5 minutes you'll pass a Burger King and cross some train tracks.  Keep
    going through one set of lights (you might even be able to see the
    Willow Grove mall off to the right way back there) until you come to a
    corner with a Sunoco? station on the right (Moreland Road).  Here you
    want to take a right turn.
  o Drive on this road for about 2/10 of a mile til you come to a set of
    lights (you'll have crossed train tracks again).  Take a left onto
    Easton Road.  As you make this turn you should be able to see the Mall.
    The Friday's (net.gathing spot is on the first floor main enterance)
  o Once on Easton, proceed for... oh... I dunno... 4 miles?  You'll pass
    all kinds of stuff... When you pass a miniture golf course, you're
    getting close.  You'll pass a Toyota dealer, then you'll be going down
    a big hill, at the bottom of which will be a light.  This is Keswick
    Ave, and the theatre is just to your left.  I think there's a 7eleven
    there too.

   From the expressway (276?)
   o From Philly go North (or West on 276) I forget... :)
   o Take the 611 (Broad Street) exit.
   o Off the ramp (past the stop sign) take a left at the lights
   o You'll be on Broad Street.  Go about 3 miles and 611 North (York Road)
     will fork off to the right.  Go for a while on York Road (6 miles?)
     You want to turn left onto "Baeder" road.  It will be easy to miss.
     It's at the bottom of a hill with a light.  There's a train station
     and a Houlohanns just AFTER the turn, so you might get hosed and have
     to turn around.  Anyway, follow Baeder through it's twists and turns,
     and you'll eventually just wind up at the theatre.  The road name
     changes to Wharton and then joins Keswick Ave at the bottom of the
     hill, and the theatre is right there.

  If you MUST come from I-95, take the Cottman Ave exit (route 73) and
stay on 73 til you get to 611 (York Road) which should be like 9 or 10
miles.  From 611 follow 276 intstructions above.  You'll be about 3 miles
from Baeder Road at that point.  E-mail for more info.

  Oh!  If you get lost, I'll be home (very near the theatre) for most
of that afternoon, so give a call.... (215) 947-8771  :-)
