Midnight Merriment (The Post-Party) at Well Hall

Home of The Dills'  Click for map  (This button links to an interactive map with different directions  It shows a shorter route that goes by way of Lake Chabot Road, Seven Hills Road, and Walnut Street, which will work, but sends you off into the hills for a couple of miles of following winding roads in the dark.)

4682 Ewing Road
Castro Valley, CA
510-886-5449

Head up the hill from the Ball on Lincoln Avenue.  Take the Warren Freeway (CA-13) south to I-580 (first south and then east towards Stockton, past the I-238 junction).  Take the Redwood Road exit in Castro Valley.  Go left onto Redwood, past all traffic lights to the top of the hill (the last signal you pass is Seven Hills Road).  Turn left on Proctor Road (there's no light and it can be hard to see, but it's the only left turn with no "Not a Through Street" sign).  Go 1/2 mile until it ends in a T and turn right onto Ewing Road.  The driveway to 4682 is on the right, between white fences with 3 rails and hidden behind a telephone pole (the last driveway before High Pine Way).  It will be marked.  If the driveway is full, drop your passengers and park around the next corner on High Pine Way.  (Shh! - Please be considerate of the neighbors.)

This is about 20 minutes from the Ball, and parking is easy.  There will be room for dancing, and musicians are encouraged to bring instruments.
