Locations:
Here's how to get to Cornell's campus: Directions to Cornell University
Festival Location:
Once you're on campus, you're looking for the Field House or Bartels Hall. Same building, two names. Once you get to the building, you want the Ramin Room (some people know it as the room with the astroturf and climbing wall). This has been the festival room for the last seven years; many of you will recognize it. If you walk in the main glass doors to the building, take an immediate right and the room is there in front of you. There should be plenty of signs up.

Parking:
If you're driving, park right across the street in the Crescent Lot which sort of looks down on the football stadium. This will be free all day Saturday and Sunday and on Friday after 5pm. If this lot is full, east on Campus Road is a parking garage. There is always sapce in the parking garage. Download the above map and find some parking near by, there are a bunch of close lots. If you want to try and get a map of campus ahead of time, click here.

Public Show:
The show will be held at the Call Auditorium in Kennedy Hall on the Cornell University campus. The theater is only TWO BLOCKS from the gym. To walk to the auditorium from the gym, walk down Campus Road one block towards central campus and then turn right on Garden Ave. Kennedy Hall is one block down Garden Ave at the corner with a traffic light. There will be signs from the festival to the show. You can check out the campus map here.

Mathmatics of Juggling Lecture by Professor Allen Knutson - 4pm, Friday (10/26)
4pm - 4:30pm Refreshments in 532 Malott Hall
4:30pm - 5:30pm Lecture in Bache Auditorium on the 2nd floor of Malott Hall
Lecture Abstract: Around 1985 three groups of jugglers came up with the same way of mathematically representing a juggling pattern. Having one makes it easy to record patterns for posterity, note similarities, and find new patterns (even by computer). I'll explain this system, called "siteswaps", and demonstrate a bunch of examples.
The Department of Mathmatics is hosting Allen Knutson, a professor of mathmatics and juggler from the UC Berkeley. Please join us for this exciting and very special way to being the JuggleFest!
