Hey kids, I need advice on this! I've never been to NYC (or surrounding area...just upstate) but my best-friend lives in Queens. I've been meaning to go visit with him and this concert gives me the perfect excuse. (Long story but my fiance isn't real wild about the idea of me going to stay with my male friend...nothing sinister there I swear. Anyway, he'll let me go-just not thrilled)
Anyhoo! I'm flying into NYC, not driving...takes too long. I know Jones Beach is out on Long Island. My friend said we could take the train out there from his place in Queens. My thing is...he estimated it being a 2 hr ride! Ugh! Would it be that long? Any ideas on what would be our best bet? He doesn't drive. I find this quite odd but he was born and raised in NYC and said he's never had the need to have a license. (I guess I could see that)
If it takes that damn long to get there by train, should we just stay all night out there in a hotel or something? It's 30 miles from his apt to Jones Beach...why on earth would it take 2 hours by train?!?!?!
...if it rains you won't have any cover but the band will so there's gonna be a show no matter what.
I don't mind that. I won't melt. I was at an Anthrax show here years ago at an outside venue. It was general admission and the mud everywhere was like quicksand. If you were up front it went up to your ankles. I lost a shoe and was covered in mud. It actually was fun after I got over being covered in mud. I was living with my dad and step-monster at the time. They wouldn't let me in the house until I hosed myself off outside. Good times.
