FOOD: We'll provide tea and cookies. There is a coffee shop (Maggie's) open on campus. The Fields Dining Room is also open for a buffet lunch. Info on both can be found here:

Note that Maggie's doesn't open until 10:00 AM on the weekend, so if you need an infusion of caffeine before your first round, bring something along.

PRECISE LOCATION: We will once again be in Smith Hall, which is a room in Albany Quandrangle (which is, confusingly enough, a building). A campus map is here:

We'll try to do a better job with signage this year; the bozos who put up the signs last year have been given a stern glare.
