BMEfest Map

As promised, here are your directions (and a glimpse at our gargantuan space)! is being held at Toronto's Lamport Stadium at King and Dufferin. If you'd like to type the exact address into a mapping site, it's 1155 King St. W., Toronto, M6K1E9. You can see a couple pictures below, as well as a rough map (again, go to something like Yahoo! Maps for more). I've tried to “point” at some major landmarks/roads to make it easier as well.

DOORS OPEN AT NOON!

Taking Transit
If my directions don't make any sense to you, just tell the TTC that you need to get to King and Dufferin. It's an easy location and they'll be happy to help you. It will cost $2.25 to get on transit.


Option 1: Take the subway to Dufferin Station (make sure you get a transfer when you first enter transit). Leave the station and go upstairs and take the bus (the “Dufferin 29″) south to King St. W. (it will turn around that little dog-leg that you can see on the map above, so that's when you know you'll have to get out in a minute). Get off at King St. and walk a couple blocks east (toward the CN Tower) and you'll be at the stadium.

Option 2: If you are on King St. (ie if you exit the subway at St. Andrew or King station, or have a hotel on King St. or a short walk from it), just take the “504 King” streetcar. Assuming you are east of the location, that means you want to be going west, or away from the CN tower. Get off at Dufferin.

Taking a Cab

Just tell the cab driver that you need to go to “Lamport Stadium, just east of King and Dufferin”. It will cost about $10 from most of the downtown core.

Driving

Honestly, you're probably better off using a site like MapQuest for your directions, but I'll mention what to do with your car. There is street parking, as well as a paid parking lot on the south side of the station. To be perfectly honest though, if there is any chance that you'll be drinking, please please please just leave your car at your hotel and take a cab or transit. Oh, and gas is a little more expensive in Canada (about $2.50 US per gallon) so if you're driving on a budget, you may want to gas up south of the border.
Wow Shannon, that's really annoying! What is it, 1997 on Geocities? Retroweb is NOT cool!
