use of Air Conditioning, hugh masses of people (mostly
 
Vogons) have moved down here and are decidedly unfriendly.
 
This coupled with the fact that Texas doesn't have a
 
state personal-income tax, has drawn Vogons (and their
 
gas guzzlin' SUV's) in fleets of thousands.

Running North/South pretty much thru the middle of
 
the vast sprawling megopollis that is Dallas-Fort Worth,
 
is a major highway "35".  35 splits in two just north
 
in the city of Denton (well known for two major universities
 
UNT (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 heads
 
slightly south-EAST towards Dallas. Stay on 35W and
 
look for the signs. You will first pass thru Lake Dallas,
 
then Lewisville, and finally enter North Dallas. You are
 
looking for BELT LINE ROAD, which you will then take
 
back to the EAST (you have to dodge under the overpass
 
and make a left turn to head west, if you turn right
 
you'll see the end of civilisation as we know it).
 
  
Anyway, you will then proceed up a steep hill (you

are still on Belt Line right?) this is technically
 
speaking Carrolton (old town) -- a very hoopy arts
 
oriented city. As you top the hill you will (eventually)
 
cross Josey Lane, and then Webbs Chappel, and then Marsh
 
Lane.  When you get to Marsh lane, get in the right
 
lane and turn right (heading south). Technically you are
 
now in Addison -- another super hoopy arts-oriented
 
town; they have a super fab "Watchtower Theatre" as well
 
as "The Taste of Addison" -- Belt Line is known as the
 
main drag for restauratns and fine dine-ing.

stoplights, among which is Spring Valley Road keep
 
going straight on Marsh. You are technically now
 
in Carrollton (another arts-oriented city) as you
 
go up a slight hill, you will want to get into the
 
LEFT lane, and at the light (Valley View Lane) you
 
will want to turn LEFT. Heading past the police
 
station and water tower on your left, you come
 
to 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. Turning
 
left (you are now on "Windmill Circle" which
 
encircles the entire campus).  Keep going West
 
on the road, it slowly curves around to the right
 
(plus a serpintine curve) observe the 20mph speed
 
limit. Finally on your right will be the "F"
 
building. If you see the "J" building, look to
 
the 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).  Enter
 
the F-building and make your way to F-110 (the
 
printmaking room), there (almost any time of
 
day, almost any day of the week you will find
 
ARTISTS).  Ask for either Jim or Richard.
