Is New College near any BART and/or Muni stations? How might someone get there from the east bay?
Take BART to 16th & Mission. Comin from within SF, one can also take a MUNI bus on Mission to 19th Street or the J Church streetcar to 18th and Church.
Here's a map of the area, with New College marked by a star:

BTW, there's a nice Middle Eastern cafe run by good folks at the corner of 19th and Valencia. I think it's open till 11 pm, so you can eat before or afterwards, or get a take-out to bring with you to the event.
P.S. The sponsors of the event ought to put a listing on the calendar here, too!
