At about 4:15 PM this Sunday (May 27), a few of us are meeting in front of the Queens College Library. Exact location in the Campus: sit around the (probably dried up) water fountain in front of the Library. The Library has a giant clock tower so you can't miss it anywhere in the campus. So far me and cjd are coming. Post if you are going.
Directions for Public Transportation: Queens College is in Queens, NY. You can Google it to get the address. It's on Kissena Boulevard and Melbourne Avenue in Flushing. Parking can be found on the side streets or along the College gate on Melbourne Avenue. If you want to get there by Train and Public Transportation, it will take you a while especially on Sunday. But this is how you do it: Take the E or F train to Union Turnpike-Kew Gardens station. Get out and wait for the Q46 Bus which should be right next to the exit to the Train station (literally 2 feet away). If you get out on the other side of Queen's Boulevard and don't see the Q46 Bus Stop (which is huge since it is the first stop for that bus) then cross Queens Boulevard and on the other side will be the bus stop. Take the Q46 to Main Street. Then get off and take the main street bus (I think it's called the Q20/21 and the Q44 (If I'm wrong about the names, it doesn't matter, just take any bus that runs along Main Street, they all get you there). Which way are you going? To the bus stop that you go to without crossing the street. Then get off at Melbourne Avenue (you might miss it, when you see a cementary on your left then that is melbourne avenue. If you miss the stop then get off at the next stop and walk back. But DON'T miss the stop if you are taking the Q44 since it is express and you will have to do lots of walking (in fact, you are better off not taking the Q44 for this reason). Then walk about 200 yards to the Melbourne Avenue entrance to Queens College. Alternatively you can take the Q46 to Parson's Boulevard and then take the Q30/31 to the main Kissena gate of Queens College but I don't recommend this route since that bus is slow unless you don't want to do any walking (What direction? wait at the bus stop in front of aRestaurant which I think is Pizza Hut). When you come home, to get back to the Train take only one Bus, the Q74 which will take you back to the train station on Union Turnpike. The Q74 Bus stop is found in front of QC.
Emergency Plan: The campus is officially closed on Sundays, but you can still walk in. As a backup plan if it happens to be locked which it won't then meet at the Kissena Boulevard main entrance under the Q74 Bus Stop shelter.
