I had an awesome time visiting Karlsruhe last year to attend the live.code.festival, and am bummed out that I won't attend LAC this year. I wanted to share some findings from my trip.

* ICE - you can travel the 100 miles from the Frankfurt airport to Karlsruhe in an hour, and the trains run hourly.

* OFFI - If you have an Android phone you can get directions from where you are to where you want to go using transit with this cool app.

* German Museum of Mechanical Musical Instruments - is at the Bruchsal Baroque Palace, has a great collection of interesting instruments including the calliope from the Coney Island carousel.
