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.

i was going to tell you that flying the pittsburgh to philly trip can get surprisingly expensive surprisingly quickly.

I used to live in Princeton so I can talk about the Sayreville/Philly logistics a bit. I found that driving from Princeton to downtown Philadelphia took about an hour. (If you take 95, you'll be in spitting distance of where I used to live, which is on Lawrenceville behind a mall on US 1.) I'd say it's another hour or so to Sayreville, maybe a bit less since once you won't be bothering to get off the road at Lawrenceville. Eminently doable by car.

NJ Transitwise, you're going to be on the Coast Line, which means going back up to Rahway and changing to get on the line to Trenton. I think you can pick up SEPTA to Philadelphia from there, although I've never taken the train from Princeton Junction to Philadelphia. It sounds like you have reliable advice on that end already.

The NJ suburbs are NOT walk-friendly. If you don't have a car, you will have to call for a cab and wait for it to get you, and pay for the privilege. Keep that in mind as you plan your trip.
