I would recommend taking 611 to fern rock station (broad and olney) and
parking there (I figure there must be a park-n-ride lot there or at least
on-street parking...) then taking the subway downtown.

Honestly, there would eb a lot less traffic problems if the police weren't
constantly trying to 'contain' they keep blocking off streets themselves!

And like (Andrew A.?) said, check out www.phillyimc.org -- and one of the
programmers is a guy I know, you might also want to check out
www.slashcode.com - he posted a bit about it..the phillyimc (independent
media center) is built on Slash, and extended to support multimedia, and
easier voting/moderation.
