I'm 2 hours south. Easy enough by train but as Newleaf said with out a definitive place to look for him or a specific event to attend its too far and NYC far too big to just hope. I have work in the morning so even if Id have had enough notice id never have made it today.

I went up for a Heloise show a few years back hoping he'd be there, fortunately he was. But IT was a LONG evening. Got up there in time for dinner show was at 10 ended at 12 ran to catch the last train back got in be at 4am...

So you see though it is close unless you are staying over...its a bit much... But maybe one day NewLeaf and I can collaborate and meet in the city and maybe we can do it while E is in town.
