I will not schedule my flight out to Philcon in such a way that I catch the Cobra Starship show in Pittsburgh, then fly or train or...something to Philly the next day.

Seriously, I'm not doing this.

I am also not scheduling in such a way as to catch the TAI... show in Buffalo on the 23rd. Really. I am not doing this, no matter how much I want to.

...who am I kidding. I'm totally gonna price flying into Pittsburgh. But I think NY is a bit much.

ALSO: Dear iTunes, seriously, plz to not play the songs by the group I am discussing when you are on random. You're sort of scaring me. As you usually do, to be honest.

ALSO ALSO: What the hell, have a link. This has gone from "unplayed" to "24 plays" in, like, two days. I listen to it on repeat.

It is not The Academy Is..., nor is is Cobra Starship. It is Jack Shit, from Rogue's Gallery: Boney Was A Warrior.

SAD STATISTIC: According to iTunes, which is wrong for a whole host of reasons, not least of all that I had two iPods and lost one, and also because Senuti can fuck up your play counts, this is the second-most-played song I have that is not MCR, TAI..., CS, Kill Hannah, or FOB. (Technically it is also behind Caleb Meyer, but it and Boney have the same number of plays, so that's only by virtue of alphabetic order.) The most played non-scene music I have is Darde Eshgh, by O-Hum. 52 plays on that one.

Most played? (Again, with the caveat that this statistic is so wildly wrong I can't even discuss it.) Honey, This Mirror Isn't Big Enough For The Both Of Us, 151 plays. SCARY.

I have about 2000 songs that show no plays on this computer. I'm going through those. Because I LIKE MAKING UP NUMBERS.

I also like "This Is Ivy League", which surprises me.

Edit to the Edit: I have just determined that it is not the Pittsburgh show I want to go to, it's the Sayreville show, which I think might have an unexpected outbreak of TAI.... I am going to be buying my ticket at the last minute again and it will cost a bajillion dollars. I hate myself.

Once you're on 95 out of Newark, you're on a controlled-access highway and should be fine until you get to Sayresville. You should mostly should bypass the jug handles (the weird left turn things). For a jug handle, you pass the intersection, loop around to the cross street, and cross the street you used to be on. It's bizarre, but it's kind of like a flat cloverleaf on a highway, and I grew up with those, so I kind of got used to them after a year or so.

I can't tell you what the drive time for Newark to Sayreville is, but I'd guess 90 minutes off the top of my head. Newark is a zoo, to the point where we decided we'd rather fly out of Philly.

Timewise, I have no idea what the situation for driving is like in Sayreville proper or on the way to 95 from Sayreville, so 2 hours may be a bit long. Still, I'd rather overestimate.

Yeah, I figure I'm just avoiding Newark this trip. I've never rented a car outside of WA, and I don't really fancy learning what I'm doing if it's not necessary. Obviously, there's a degree of "not necessary" with going to Sayreville at all, but let's face it: it'll be fun. And totally with you on overestimating. I figure I'll mess around in Philly for a few hours, then hit the road around one pm, go to Sayreville, find my hotel, dump my stuff and get ready for the concert (and, probably, nap, since I have to change planes at 3:15 my time), do that, and crash, then come back the next day. I'm trying to keep it simple (not, for example, tacking on "And I'll go to Newark to buy shoes!") because I don't want to find out that I am only a good driver in Seattle. *g*
