EARS meets next Tue 5/31 at Northeastern IL University 5500 N. St. Louis, Chicago Fine Arts Building Recital Hall. Located in the Kimball / Foster area next to WTTW/WFMT, Our Prez clues us in that parking is free in the WTTW/WFMT parking lot but costs $5 to park in the Northeastern lot! Entrance is at St. Louis and Balmoral, for you ("Maps On Us / Questors"). That's mid-way between Foster (5200 N.) & Bryn Mawr (5600 N.), 2 streets west of Kimball (3600 W.) If coming from the North "hinters", exit Edens / I-94 at Peterson and go east to Kimball. From the Kennedy I-90/94 (like jettin' in O'Hare, as so many of you do!), exit East at Foster to Kimball. From downtown expressways, also exit at Foster but note it's westbound. Sneaky officers can (rarely) nail you illegally turning left of the exit ramp.

If you don't trust yer Eagle eyes and stay legal, you'll need to turn around either pulling in at the immediate left side street or at Pulaski, the next major intersection.

To get to the Northeastern Campus Fine Arts Building, walk to the back (west) of the WTTW parking lot, go through the chain link fence's gate and follow the paved path right (north). Walk past the big building on your left (library were da' books is) to the single story glass doors leading to the Fine Arts Building after a 50 yard walk straight ahead. Make 2 lefts and yer there. We'll try to post signage but follow this to be sure. Maybe meet some eager young College students on the way!

We'll start in the Recital Hall, then check out their newly rebuilt Auditorium. We'll ogle this multi-purposed performance space which supports multimedia presentation, S.R. and recording. It's a lesson in modern solutions to acoustics (by local consultants, Talaske) and integrated recording, theater arts and sound reinforcement (c/o local AES Fellow, Jim Brown)! Beyond their academic use, it¹s served performances by their internationally renown dance / flamenco music troop, "Ensemble Español" and 6 time Grammy® winner, Paquito d¹ Rivera!

Be there or Š the #%$@ with ya!
