I'm not sure what went wrong with the previous location, however changing it with less than 48 hrs notice is not cool, but whatever - here's the new info:

5. Wake Med center somewhere on Falls

Falls of the Neuse road. No reason given for the change.

6. I'm from Raleigh and the new

location is probably better.

7. Wake Med

If it's the main campus, that is off New Bern Ave. Traffic there can be a bitch.

edit to add: If Wake Med has a facility on Falls, the traffic is just as bad. The new location is downtown and easier to get to at that time of day because you will be going against the traffic.

8. Yeah I just hope people find out in time...

I may have a friend who lives over off Falls stop by that site to see how many people show up there - hopefully could re-direct them in time to make it for some of it.
