Yup! Right across the street. Parking is available on the hill (free on most of the downhill side) or in the Union Parking lot (for a fee).

It was great! Jim did an 80-minute variety reading from his earliest to some of his most-recent work, ending with the last scene of Kampus - which kinda blew me away, what with the, um, very formal and academic setting of the evening. Hooray, Jim's my hero!

Dang, wish I would have read this a few days ago, I would have gone. Just finished reading a collection of shorts "The End of the Dreams" by him.
