Directions to the show:
From Baltimore:
Take 95 South until you get to the beltway (495). When 95 South meets the beltway, it will fork and 95 South will go off to the left with 495 east and 495 west will go to the right towards Silver Spring.
Go to the right of the fork, onto 495 west. There's two lanes on that side of the fork, and you're going to get into the left lane, because the Rt 1. towards College Park exit is about 100 yards after the fork on the left side.
Take Rt. 1 towards College Park. It's a funky exit and you'll get dumped on a couple of roads. Just keep following signs for Rt. 1 towards College Park.
When you get to a traffic light, that means you've hit Rt. 1. Turn right onto Rt. 1. Go for a mile or two down Rt. 1. The entrance to the university will be on your right at the intersection of Rt. 1 and Paint Branch Parkway/Campus Drive. It's a big intersection. Turn in there. Follow the directions below to get to the Art-Sociology building. Park in Lot 1 or anyplace you get find a space and not get a ticket, cause they're expensive. Here's a map of parking and when it's free: www.inform.umd.edu/CampusInfo/About_UMCP/Maps/parking.html

From the metro:
Take the metro's green line to the University of Maryland -
College Park metro stop.
Two options to get to campus:
1. Shuttle bus. Exit the metro turnstiles and exit the station on your
right (up the stairs NOT through the tunnel). You will see metrobus
stops. Walk to your left, all the way to the end. You will see signs for
Shuttle UM. A red and white Shuttle-UM bus goes to Lot HH across from the
Stamp Student Union. It's a free bus. Take it to Lot HH, which is on a
hill. Continue to walk up the hill (not down, you'll notice the
difference). You will soon reach a fork in the road. Bear left at the
fork and keep walking. The Art-Soc. building is on the right side of this
road. You will see 2 fountains which are probably empty and you will also
see the Tawes Fine Arts Building. The Art-Socy building is to the left of
Tawes. Go inside and walk down the 5 stairs in front of you and the door
to 2203 is the second one on the left.
2. Walking (or biking) from the metro:
Take the same station exit as in the above directions (up the stairs, not
through the tunnel). Walk to your left on the sidewalk past the bus
stops. You will come to an intersection with Paint Branch Parkway. Turn
left onto Paint Branch Parkway and walk down the sidewalk a long ways
until you get to the intersection of Paint Branch Parkway and Rt. 1
(Baltimore Ave.). Cross the intersection. Paint Branch Parkway will turn
into Campus Drive. Walk up Campus Drive, past the traffic circle, up the
hill. You'll pass Lot HH and the stamp student union. When you get to
the fork in the road (mentioned in the above directions) then bear left
and follow the above shuttle bus directions to the Art-Sociology Building.
