Directions to MyJive
There were a few problems finding MyJive last time (including myself who ended taking a "shortcut" via Google Maps that led me to a dead end street). Google maps is dirty, filthy liar so be careful if it tries to take you off of Graham Street.
The easiest way to get there (and the only way I really know) is from N. Graham St. MyJive is just north of Elmwood & Pinewood Cemeteries in the same office space as Creative Loafing.
Going north on N. Graham Street:
If you're inside the 277 loop you'll travel north on Graham Street and stick to your left hand lane. You'll go under the 277 underpass then take your first left on Seaboard Street. There will be a left hand turn lane and I believe they have a big sign up with an arrow to "NC Music Factory".
NC Music factory will be on the right just after Maxwell Street. MyJive is the building across from the Black Bear Saloon there's a guest parking area in-between with a few parking spots. If those are full you can park on Seaboard St or if you keep following Seaboard St. it'll do a 90º turn to the right and become Hamilton St.
View a custom Google Map that highlights parking and the building that MyJive is in.
Info on it's way for the book. For those that attended you'll get the information very soon.
Can anyone send me information about getting a free book or getting a discount? I had to leave early :(
