Directions to Martha Cole's house: From Mopac, take the 2222/Northland exit and go west on 2222. The first light you'll come to is Balcones Drive. DO NOT turn on Balcones (so don't be in the far right turn lane), but turn on the first street right after Balcones: Highland Hills Drive, a residential street that shoots off to the right. Once you're on Highland Hills Drive, it'll make a fork. Bear left to stay on HHD (just follow the yellow stripe), and wind around several blocks. House will be on the right: 5915 Highland Hills Drive. Call if you get lost: 453-2650.

Hope to see you at the show!
