Some Important Locations

Posted @ 11 July 2007 @ 11am by Alex Hillman

We’ve been asking “will you be here” but haven’t done the best job of saying where “here” is.

We’ve gone and added some map links and relevant location notes about the website and on the schedule but here’s the condensed set:

The hotel can be found at 17th and Locust (map).

Tavern 17, for Thursday’s Happy Hour, is actually IN the hotel’s restaurant on the 1st floor.

Triumph Brewery, for the Thursday evening party, is at 2nd and Chestnut (map)

The Philadelphia Art Museum, for the Rocky Steps run (map)

National Mechanics, for the wrap-up party, is at 3rd and Market (map)

Hope this helps you plan your way around the city!

Many thanks to Colin Devroe from Viddler (who will be at the event, liveblogging) for the cue to gather up this info in one place!

Thanks Colin and Alex!

For people driving in as a daytrip, where’s a good place to park for this?

Great question Stan! For parking closest to the Raddison and a competitive rate analysis (ha!) check out the Philadelphia Parking Locator:

For those staying at the Raddison, check out The Black Sheep Pub for excellent food and beverages. It is just south of the hotel and across the street.

Save the Black Sheep (A great spot, agreed) for after the conference! You are staying for the whole weekend, right?

The whole BlogPhiladelphia event is catered and we’ve set up a bunch of evening events that will also provide food and drinks.

So, is comments here the official back-channel? I posted on the FB event wall - should we have a group? Also - missed the unconference explanation - can anybody point to an explanation, and/or tell me how to figure out what rooms sessions are in?

Please post items/notes/links to the WIKI!
