  1. Sounds like a great event.

    The address is actually that of the specific building, Griffin Hall, where most of the events are. (Though Google Maps, bless it, sends you about a block away.) Finding the campus as a whole is not difficult. If you can find Williamstown, you can’t miss the college; it’s kind of dominating.
