'''Dallas''' is a city in [[http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=dallas&ie=UTF8&z=12&ll=32.784965,-96.79985&spn=0.136813Texas]],0.432243&om=1&iwloc=A] (and most of [[TexasUSA]]) isn't the best placeto be hitchhiking. Unfortunately with the wide-spreaduse of Air Conditioning, hugh masses of people (mostlyVogons) have moved down here and are decidedly unfriendly.This coupled with the fact that Texas doesn't have astate personal-income tax, has drawn Vogons (and theirgas guzzlin' SUV's) in fleets of thousands. <!--However, should you be in the vicinity of North Dallas,you might want to stop in at the Art Department ofBrookhaven College. Most of the froodz there aresuper hoopy and sass the ways of artists; a few areeven conversant with the h2g2 (ask for Richard). Also,the theatre, dance, and music depts are hoopy as well.In addition, the foreign languages division offers courses in over 20 languages. To get there follow these directions (or use MapQuest.comor similar). Running North/South pretty much thru the middle ofthe vast sprawling megopollis that is Dallas-Fort Worth,is a major highway "35". 35 splits in two just northin the city of Denton (well known for two major universitiesUNT (University of North Texas) and TWU (Texas Women's University). As 35 proceeds south, 35W heads slightly to the south-west towards Fort Worth, and 35E headsslightly south-EAST towards Dallas. Stay on 35W andlook for the signs. You will first pass thru Lake Dallas,then Lewisville, and finally enter North Dallas. You arelooking for BELT LINE ROAD, which you will then takeback to the EAST (you have to dodge under the overpassand make a left turn to head west, if you turn rightyou'll see the end of civilisation as we know it). Anyway, you will then proceed up a steep hill (youare still on Belt Line right?) this is technicallyspeaking Carrolton (old town) -- a very hoopy artsoriented city. As you top the hill you will (eventually)cross Josey Lane, and then Webbs Chappel, and then MarshLane. When you get to Marsh lane, get in the rightlane and turn right (heading south). Technically you arenow in Addison -- another super hoopy arts-orientedtown; they have a super fab "Watchtower Theatre" as wellas "The Taste of Addison" -- Belt Line is known as themain drag for restauratns and fine dine-ing. Heading south on Marsh Lane, You will come to a few stoplights, among which is Spring Valley Road keepgoing straight on Marsh. You are technically nowin Carrollton (another arts-oriented city) as yougo up a slight hill, you will want to get into theLEFT lane, and at the light (Valley View Lane) youwill want to turn LEFT. Heading past the policestation and water tower on your left, you cometo a light which you want to turn left on. (If you come to a fork in the road you have gone too far). As you enter onto campus, stay in the left lane,and then you come to a "T" intersection. Turningleft (you are now on "Windmill Circle" which encircles the entire campus). Keep going Weston the road, it slowly curves around to the right(plus a serpintine curve) observe the 20mph speedlimit. Finally on your right will be the "F"building. If you see the "J" building, look tothe right of it, and you will see the "F" building. Next you get to play: "Try to find a parking space!"(it's all part of the fun of campus life). Enterthe F-building and make your way to F-110 (theprintmaking room), there (almost any time ofday, almost any day of the week you will findARTISTS). Ask for either Jim or Richard. The art department's phone number is: 972.860.4730and the address of the campus is 3939 Valley ViewLane, Carrollton (Dallas) TX, 75244.--><!---- Filed by: Drongo the Magnificent (TheArtistT2001@yahoo.com) -->
