Oh hoola-hoop girl. I hope to see you again at this year's GRASS.

You took my breath away last year.

Hey Waylon, how far is NYC from Rochester? Are you driving? If I wanted to go to this jam and visit New York City before or after, could I visit you and get shown around??

Erik,

I have always taken the Greyhound bus whenever I wanted to attend GRASS. The trip is about 7 hours, more or less I assume. The bus route is usually from NYC Port Authority straight to a bus station in Binghamton, and then you have to transfer to another bus to get to Rochester.

If you do plan to come to NYC during this time of the month, I can definitely show you around. It would be my pleasure.

Lodging may be a bit of a trouble, but I can discuss with the other members of NYFA to work around this.

Just found out that with my exam schedule, I wont be able to make this jam...

And for the next 3 years that I have exams from the middle to end of april I wont be able to either.

Have a great time guys!

Is anyone driving from the GTA or Ontario?? That would make this event 100% for me. I may still come even if I have to bus it, but the timing will be a bit weird.

If anyone has a crash spot for me, I'll start thinking of ways to get to rochester.

Contemplating Hitch Hiking

Or if anyone is going past Albany and West on I-90, that'd work too.

One question. Are all the players gonna stay in this hotel?

mikeanello · Post by **mikeanello** » 02 Apr 2009 07:00

I hope so. It's conveniently located right next to the event site.

I really want to make it, anyone have a crash spot for 2?

Hope someone brings a video camera! *cough*MattCross*cough*

Have fun!

I'm not too sure if I can make it to this jam (my decision is now at 40%). This is for a variety of reasons, but my top most priority is saving my funds for Montreal Spring Jam this summer. And Beantown Throwdown is just one weekend away from this jam.

I can definitely submit a prize bag for this jam. Mike, I'll be sending you a PM shortly for your address.

Is anyone from Ontario going??

If not, I need to figure out something fast.

jay7 · Post by **jay7** » 09 Apr 2009 05:58

Hey Jorden,

My exams are such that I simply wont be able to make it for the full weekend. However, I CAN'T miss this event as it has so many awesome people, so I am thinking I will go for the Saturday.

If you're "down" for missing Friday, then I could take you then; but you'd have to wake up earlier than usual...

Jorden · Post by **Jorden** » 09 Apr 2009 07:10

Problem solved.
