okay wait no this is dumb I'm wasting money on texting you about this when we could just fucking do it on plurk ALRIGHT LET'S HANDLE IT HERE
OH SHIT THAT'S RIGHT i'm sorry i keep forgetting you have limited texts orz
so the bronx is not that bad, subway rides are like a flat $2.25 or whatever so I could go all the way to Flushing if necessary really without it costing much.
but staten island....i think the only way to get there is by ferry?
yeah i'm looking there too let me check what the transport is like going from penn station to that staten island shop
wow holy dicks okay yeah I need to take a ferry to Staten Island and then take a bus, travel time altogether is ~2 hours.
that's travel time from NYC, tack on 45 minutes either way for me getting to NYC from here.
i'll call the one in the bronx rn
they only have friday and sunday passes
they picked up and were like "we only have friday and sunday passes" and i was like oop ok wow
they know what the callers want
how about montasy comics?
kimono house didn't pick up
if i worked thursdays and you told me earlier, I maybe could've picked up from kinokuniya before leaving for otakon 8C I work literally next door from there.
give montasy a try, they're not hard to get to at all
well they weren't on sale until the 12th ahaha
they weren't? I heard of people lining up at midtown comics on Thursday for 7 hours to get the tickets.
they must've gone fast then because I went to kinokuniya for lunch on the 12th at like 1pm and they were out of tickets.
.....THAT'S WHAT THE LINE WAS WHEN I WAS GOING TO WORK
THERE WAS THIS HUGE LINE AROUND THE BLOCK AROUND MY BUILDING WHEN I WALKED IN AND I WAS WONDERING WHAT IT WAS IT WAS FOR NYCC TICKETS
according to the thing they were only selling them the week of the 12th
there... anywhere else we haven't called yet... that might have them...?
kimono house might call me back and we'll see then
there's a bunch of places in NJ but NJ's not as easy to get around i don't think
NJ is dependent on how much my mom is willing to drive me around, and I wouldn't be able to get to them until Friday at the earliest, Saturday more likely.
Do you want me to call any of the other NY locations that I haven't yet?
I called Nevermore (no saturday), both Montasy (no saturday), and Kimono (no answer)
and we know kino and forbidden planet are sold out of saturday
I guess? I can get to most of them so long as they're in the NYC area
comic book jones is sold out
wow shirley is very far away i'm not gonna call them
kimono house might have some still just because it actually.. looks like a kimono house? where you get fitted for kimono?
KIMONO HOUSE STILL HAS SOME
ahaha i just called to try and confirm and their automated message was "comic con tickets from kimono house"
COMIC CON TICKETS FROM KIMONO HOUSE
NO I CALLED THEIR REGULAR NUMBER
I CALLED THEIR REGULAR NUMBER THE LADY SAYS THEY STILL HAVE SOME
did she say for saturday?!
yes!! i asked "for saturday" and she said yes!!
I JUST FINISHED MY ILLUSTRATION FOR WORK SO I WILL EMAIL IT, GET DRESSED, GET DIRECTIONS, AND GET THE HELL OVER THERE
ok let me know how much the travel is and i'll split it with you
i will try and get two tickets for us because omg if saturday is open i wanna go
p.s. my friend has a hotel room for free, i-i could maybe ask her though she invited me and idk what the etiquette for that is
it's like literally a block from the con center
oKAY KEEP ME UPDATED i forget if you have calling for free or not
because you can call me, i'll be out later
well I also have an apartment right here
omg if we can go to NYCC together i will be so excited
and my mom is home on weekends, so we could crash for free at my place, although we'd have to pay $13 roundtrip transit.
okay i will call you/text you when I get there and determine the status of our tickets
GOOD LUCK ON OUR JOINT QUEST
