You will make one additional Saturday trip with a team of 3 at some point in-between. The schedule is posted here: http://labs12.blogspot.com/2012/02/identity-blueprint-lab-schedule.html.

FIRST TRIP SATURDAY MARCH 3
Meet Liz at the southwest corner of 14th St. and 6th Ave. at 10:45am. (If it's raining, go inside to the service booth.) If you are not there by 11am, we will leave without you and you will be marked absent for the day. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO GO ON YOUR OWN IF YOU ARE LATE. We will leave when the program ends at 4:30pm, and it will take approximately 50 minutes to get back to Parsons. Bring your lunch, as the lunch options around there are somewhat limited and you may not have much of a break. Be sure you have the cell phone numbers of everyone on your team, should you get lost or separated from us.

We will take the PATH train 6 stops to Journal Square, then switch to the PATH train to Newark Penn Station (2 stops, Newark Penn Station is the final stop). We'll exit the station and walk west 6 blocks on Market Street to Gallery Aferro, 73 Market Street. If it's raining we'll take the bus, #34-towards Bloomfield, NJ. We'll get off at Market Street and University Ave.

Please refer to the Lab guidelines for working on location: http://nobetty.net/lab/s12/Guidelines.pdf
-You will need to walk 6 blocks, and be on your feet for 5 hours helping to run these workshops, so high heels are not recommended.
-Walk with purpose, pay attention to your surroundings.
-There will be paint, ink, and other messy materials, so bring an apron or smock if you are concerned about your clothing.
-Travel light, and bring some reading material in case your train is delayed.
-We suggest packing your lunch, as the lunch options around there are somewhat limited and you will not have much of a break.
