AXNY gathering

[jbone]

So, who'll be at AXNY? mckeed and I are local, so we'll be there Friday through Monday.

There's a ton to do in NYC, of course. I'm thinking dinner Friday night

(I know a place that has the best Shepard's Pie in the whole country... and I also know the best Chinese restaurant in NYC.)

I will not be going to AXNY but have you read their website. I find the Hotel/Location information to be amusing, expecially the warnings about walking around down town New York.

Ergh, been looking over the schedules for BAAF / AXNY... so confusing...

BAAF starts Friday, and AXNY starts Saturday, but they're related. How spiffy.

ANYWAY...

Meri, myself, Jon, and I believe some other friends are going up Friday (the Bebop movie is the main attraction, and can't be missed, of course). Friday night dinner and stuffage sounds good. We're staying over that one night until Saturday, but I'm not sure what the Saturday plans are, yet.

here is some tips for all you ignorant tourist going to NYC.

tip # 1 do not hold a subway map while you are on the subway know how to get there before you go on the subway otherwise people will autimatically know you are tourist and either beat the crap out of you or mug you.

tip#2 When going uptown near harlem or anywhere do not try to act "gangsta" near a a real gangsta or else you will again get beat up and they will mug you.

tip#3 when going to china town you will see a chinese lady with a box and do not ask her what is inside the box i repeat do not ask.

tip#4 best way to get around for you tourist is by taxi (although they will rob you around $50.00)

tip#5 if you are white try not to act so whiteboyish or you wil again get beat up and then be mugged.

tip#6 do not walk the city streets alone at night if you are a tourist you will end up bieng killed raped or mugged.

*And the most important tip is*
STAY OUT MY WAY OR ELSE YOU WILL END UP IN THE EAST RIVER LIKE THE OTHERS.

(these tips are mostly for white tourist other races will not have any problems fitting in and enjoy the greatest city in the world)

If you're not a freaking idiot, then the subway and your feet are the best ways to get around. However, if you <I>do</I> happen to be a freaking idiot (and you know who you are), then you might just be safer getting ripped off by the taxis.

I flew into JFK for Shoujo-con, and due to delays I missed my shuttle, I ended up in Downtown New York's main Bus center. It's scary, and I'm from LA.

I was wandering alone looking very lost with a suitcase. Luckily I found a guy who also looked lost with a suitcase and was even more white then me, so we wandered around together.

Jeeze, you people talk about NYC like its Beiruit.

[Satori]

I've never had any problems walking around by myself in the city. I think it all depends how people act. I did see a young guy ask another guy if he could spare a few bucks so he could get something to eat. The cocky guy told the homeless guy to get a job. He ended up almost getting beaten up ._.

Anyway NYC is not so bad, though...

[thewhacker]

NYC is not bad for the peole that live there but for tourist (ohh how i hate tourist) it going to be hell if they dont know where to go and how the things are in nyc i myself have walked the streets of the city way past midnight but i know where to go and how to get there so its not bad.
Just follow my tips and all you fat, friendless, lifeless, cheeto eating, horrible acne white boys wil get back to your suburb house alive.
