    I was really up for it when I thought it'd be a concert, but I'm not sure anymore mmm
    It's so close to the elections+convention season that'll I'll be suuper broke.
    Greyhound out of Toronto looks to be super cheap! :D It's just the hotel cost + my complete lack of a sense of direction that'd destroy me.
    But Kojiharu...

    Rather than a hotel, I was leaning towards taking the greyhound back the same day/evening actually. Sense of direction, well I've never been to nyc, but I have a feeling it shouldn't be too hard to find central park ^^

    Wow, lots of people from Toronto considering. I am heavily debating it myself.

    Alright, seeing as I went and got a passport already, anyone interested in taking the greyhound down together and maybe splitting costs on a hotel room? 23 year old male here.

    I'd totally do it but no. 16 year old girl here! As much as I'm interested in splitting costs...just no. And I'm pretty sure we're coming from opposite directions so...sorry

    And oh yeah I still don't know if I'm going

    I just bought my bus tickets. I managed to snag a $1 BoltBus ticket for the trip back to Boston, woot!

    Would anyone be interested in hanging out and going to eat and/or do karaoke after the show?

    I would like to do that, but the Monday after is the start of finals week, so I probably can't linger after the show for too long. :(

    Sounds good, but I'm in the same boat with finals and all. If anyone wants to hang out before the show, I heard there's free food at the fair and I'll probably be there early with my family.

    I think it'll be cool to meet other stage48 members / akb48 fans there before the show and we'll naturally do anyway since we're going to the same place. I'm reluctant to give up any good spots though :XD:

    Since i'll be dropping by my sister's place, i'll be coming from Boston as well. Too bad my flight back to Chicago from NY is at 9 pm on the 10th but i'm down with hanging out with people after the event and before I go to the airport. Maybe trade some stuff. LOL

    Yeah, it'd be cool to meet people. No idea where a meeting point could be though

    Seems overkill for me to plane there but busing so long. If there a small group coming from Toronto, I'll consider it more. We could also keep ourselves awake and explore the city so don't have to book a hotel. LOL

    If anyone wants to get last minute support goods like uchiwas, drop me a pm. I can ship over some stuff since I'm in Japan. Want to make it the best possible scene for them.

    I told Tomu and Hira a lot of people would be coming so you guys better represent. Lol

    Even if it's just me standing there in the crowd, I'll still represent lol

    I feel like I should get penlights but idk...sounds like a lot of trouble

    I have no experience, but I don't know how well penlights work in daylight.

    There's another point you should bear in mind. If you were attending a concert in a theater full of AKB48 fans, the penlights would be a must, but I guess this time the fans will be only a (small) part of the audience...so if you wave a penlight when nobody else around has one maybe it will look a bit weird...

    I think pen lights would be a good way for the girls to notice you :)

    ^Karles48 is right. This isn't a full blown AKB event. It's Japan day with 20 minutes of AKB. 95% of the people there will probably be there for Japan day who have interest in Japanese culture but not necessarily AKB. Not to mention this event is free in NYC, so expect a sh!t ton folks who have interest in neither, just going because its free. Me personally I will keep a low profile lol.
