This might be fun, if just to see a lot of sweet hardware. I'm going to try

below).

> Directions:
>
> Two Penn Plaza is in Midtown, NYC, on 7th Avenue, spanning
> 31st-33nd Streets. Penn Station is below, and this building
> is convenient to other subways as well- the south exits for
> the 34th street stations let out on 32nd street. Once on
> 32nd Street, it is a quick 1 block walk West, directly to the
> main entrance of this building. If you see the taxi stand
> in front of the building, you'll know that you are in the
> right place.
>
> There are two guard/security stations on the 7th Avenue side
> of the building. One or both of them should have the guest
> list for this event. Once the guards validate that you are
> on the event list, they will direct you to the elevators and
> to the 8th Floor. Once there, you will see the main reception
> desk. I expect that our event should be in the conference
> room to the left of that desk.
