I remember the not-walking-friendly from my trip to Newark last year. I wasn't that far from the centre of Newark and it was still CRAZY. When I went into town, it was much more awesome. I'm okay with bussing, though tbh after the con starts, I think I will have NO time to even consider leaving the building other than for things within walking distance.

Good to know about the actual distance - mapquest lists it as slightly less than an hour and a half, but honestly, I've never - dude, I don't even know if that IS a turnpike. And I do remember, again from Newark, that it was badly congested on small roads. At this point, when I do this (because I totally will, I'm not even gonna front any more) I'm thinking land around 2 pm EDT, and get IMMEDIATELY to the rental place, and on the road. Probably this is overkill, since there are four bands on the bill and I only want to see the headliners, but I don't want to be driving in unfamiliar ways after dark and in rush hour. And I understand there's something really, really weird about trying to make left turns in Jersey?

I was figuring on doing all that to get to Sayreville, then staying in Sayreville that night and driving back to Philly the next day to meet [livejournal.com profile] purplemoocow and return the car. I have a ride from the Philly airport any time after three, so there's that as well, which might mean I avoid the whole issue of going from the airport to the con. Depends on his schedule a bit.

Thanks for the tips!
