Question about Chinatown bus lines up to/back from NYC

There should really be a 12:00 or 12:30 train back. Greyhound is just as brutal at night.

Still, I would much rather wait for a 3:00 train than take a Greyhound any time.

shit now i absorb the comment about lining up early..


my night would have been entirely different had i done that..


then again i probably would not have gotten backstage…

anybody see detroit rock city? the evening was a bit like that for me.

cant say i didnt warn you about getting there early :) Im seeing Howard Jones there as I really had to see him again playing his classics. Im already regretting going there, but the one good thing is its during CMJ. I expect it to not be too awful.

Megabus are OK but it is still a bus and cramped quarters for that long start to get to me.

I am paying the $45ish each way for train from here on out. Sure, it costs more but the room you get, more comfortable seating, fewer smelly people and expediency are worth it to me.

is that for amtrak?  must be the weekday prices.  im coming back on a sunday and i couldnt find anything that cheap. 

I'm curious azag, too…Union to Penn and times?
Hutch, how'd you end up getting back to the bus stop - cab it?
x - I have no idea what you said so I'll have to call you to discuss should I hit NY for a night.

Its actually a pretty quick walk…

I'm guessing that's Hutch on the left and Pauly Shore on the right.

Nice, I didn't know Pauly Shore was still alive  ;D

I was wondering which one was Starsky, and which was Hutch and was thinking they both looked like Starsky after a night of dumpster diving.

oh no.. have i revealed too much?

:D

One of the guys from Starsky and Hutch was at work the other day, though I didn't see him. The dark haired one but I bet it's silver now.

I lost track of this thread and have no clue who performed that night.

^ Ha! No… but I still see a lot of old people. All kinds of people, actually. Much, much better environment and circumstances though.

Honestly, I'm not sure if I've ever watched Starsky And Hutch so I don't know if I'd have even recognized him if he walked up and talked to me, which was quite possible that day. In fact, I think Stephen Baldwin did a couple months ago but I'm still not completely certain. 

Amtrak charge $49 each way if you get the tickets far enough in advance. Tickets from Union to Penn and back on the 29th still cost that, for example.

not worth paying $80 more..sorry.


that just makes the cost of attendin the show prohibitive to me…its like add $100 to the cost of the ticket..

for that much i'd rather drive which with gas prices the way they are i would not imagine doing.

i'm just going to hope new york doesn't get anything i must see and i'd say my odds are good.. in last 9 years there have only been two shows that made me go up there

Joao Gilberto .. and boy was that a great decision.
