I could do it though. If I really wanted to.

But I just don't see how I can. I would already be spending over $100 for the ticket, and then traveling that much is gonna be exhausting so I won't enjoy the concert nearly as much as I could be.

I'll let you know if by some miracle my Dad decides to drive me to NY twice within the same month. (Not gonna happen)

Jo_ey,

Four hours ain't nothin...do it, do it. Guarantee it'll be an adventure you'll never forget and that's just the parts getting there and back.

hunter

How old are you anyway if you don't mind me asking?

Riding the buses, trains, and subways late at night would be really dangerous and knowing me, I would get lost, lost, lost.

I turn 18 next month so as of now I'm still a baby.

hunter

Nah, your more than old enough and the getting lost, lost, lost part is where all the adventure happens. I went on tour with Bjork when I was 16 and had some of the most amazing, enlightening, scary, exhausting and ultimately rewarding experiences in that 5 weeks driving across the country in a car full of complete strangers!

You should go for it, can you get back on the proper transport after the show or would you have to stay the night?

Definitely not staying the night.

I'm wondering if I go through all that to get there, my Dad could pick me up from there. I don't wanna ask him to bring me because not only would he not be going to the show but it'd be the 2nd time he'd drive me to and from New York in the same month. I think I could manage getting there in one piece, I'd just need him to come get me. (Besides, he won't want me coming back late at night from the buses/trains/subways).

Jo_ey

Your Bjork adventure sounds like an amazing adventure! I wish I was as brave as you were!

Jo_ey

Pros

Would be my 1st Goldfrapp concert and I totally love them and all that
I could meet some lovely Frappers!
It'd be an adventure that I really need

Cons

Over 4 hours away, exhaustion, wouldn't enjoy concert as much as I could
Dangerous area
$$$: A lot of money spent on buses, trains, subways, and not to mention the $100 (!!) ticket

iuventus

Not sure, but I think that the Upper West Side is one of the least dangerous areas in NYC.

Yeah but think about all the places I'd be traveling to and from

iuventus

Oh, yes. Those.

Damned dangerous areas!

I traveled down to London for a concert recently and thought the same, it's dangerous at night, i'll get lost, etc. But it was totally fine, i Google Streetview'ed the hell out of where i needed to go, i learned the timetable for the Underground trains (actually, i found an app that had them all stored), and i knew coming out of the concert i'd be in a big crowd of fellow fans so it was alright.

iuventus

My friends and I used to play in the streets and alleys of Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., as teens. I can't imagine that Greyhound bus stations on the way to Manhattan's Upper West Side are any more perilous.

They aren't, but it's all relative. I have a feeling Jo_ey doesn't play in the alleys of Philly and DC but it doesn't mean he shouldn't go out and take the jump (or bus, metro, subway and taxi ride)...maybe you have a friend you can drag with you for companionship?

Pick your craziest friend and drag them with you and that way, on the slight chance that something bad does happen you can blame it all on them. ;)

Or maybe one of us grownups could meet you at the bus. If anyone got stabbed it would be us, as the friendly-neighborhood mugger would suspect that we were carrying the cash.

Howdy, Stranger!
