FRIDAY to BLOOMINGTON from north, east, or west: Take I 70 to 465 South (heading clockwise or counterclockwise) to 37 South. Drive about an hour. Once in Bloomington, this becomes Walnut. Take it to 3rd Street. Turn Left to go East a few blocks. 3rd curves to become Atwater. At the 1st stop (Woodlawn) turn Right. Then turn Left onto Hunter. In just a few houses turn Right into the school parking lot. Use this map for more details.

All Gypsy Moon Ball 2008 events Saturday & Sunday are at a new location, the International School of Indiana (less than 2 short miles off I 65, here's a map).

Saturday, to the dance, in 2 steps:
Step One:
From BLOOMINGTON: Take 37 North to 465 North/East (counterclockwise) to I 65 North, to exit 116. Turn Left onto 30th Street and drive less than 1/2 mile to Martin Luther King Dr. . .

From OHIO or ILLINOIS: Take I 70 to the east side of downtown Indianapolis then get on I 65 heading North to exit 116. Turn Left onto 30th Street and drive less than 1/2 mile to Martin Luther King Dr. . .

From NORTH: Take 465 to NorthWest Indianapolis, get onto I 65 South to exit 117. Take Martin Luther King North (it turns into Michigan Rd.). . .
