I mean, it didn't have everything I wanted to know, I was looking for a detailed physical breakdown of the positives and negatives of the candidate locations, amongst other things....

So there's two places to vote: Scheman Building and Hilton Coliseum, where the latter also has presentations starting at noon. Seems like the presentations are 15 minutes each with about 5 minutes between.

Ron Paul is second to talk, so around 12:20? Perhaps 12:30 if it starts late.

Any idea if the parking lot north of the two buildings will be used for parking or only the large ones to the south?

Seems like Ron Paul's area is somewhat recessed, but there are east stairs that lead straight to the Hilton Coliseum.

Does the Scheman Building also have a lower entrance straight from Ron Paul's area?

Ron Paul's location looks excellent. Right between both voting locations and really easy access.
