i'm sorry i'm being such a brat about this cold. but yea, i've never been to the east coast in the winter. and i'm from southern california where we're spoiled when it comes to weather...right now it's like 65-67 degrees F.
i just gotta suck it up! but if i get frostbite, those kings of leon will be hearing from me!!

^^^ We can look for compensation! I don't handle cold very well either even though I live in Ireland and it's cold winter, spring, summer and autumn these days! Never been to NYC in the winter either just summer.

I really want there to be snow though. Even though it'll be all dirty and mushy on the streets, it'll be really nice in central park! Oh just had a thought...isn't there skating in central park or somewhere like that...we could all go ice skating

Hehe, yeah they do that skating thing near central park. I've never ice skated before!
I wish we got spoiled with nice weather here. I basically get whatever NYC gets, seeing as though I'm only 4/5 hrs away by car.

Irish and Eu travellers, just heard on the news that we HAVE to register online before we go to america. If you dont register online then you may have difficulty gaining access. You have to register at least 72 hours before departure. They also warned about websites that look for money to register. You can do it for free. I presume we'll find more info on airport sites.

Can't argue with Montana on that. I'm sure we'll find time to attend the show. Of course we will be seeing them in Ohio earlier in the week, so you never know. Ha ha. Actually, I thought there was already a place set up to have everyone meet. I think Nicole told me that. See you there.

No, there wasn't, unless she knows something I don't. We talked about it, but no one has come up with a place to hang.

Oh sugar I was meaning to mention that. Filled it out myself a couple of weeks ago - must check my status. If anyone's looking for the link here it is: esta.cbp.dhs.gov

I emailed MSG the other day to check if I can pick up my tickets the day before when I arrive in NYC and thankfully I can. It will save me queing on the night - more time to socialise with the HA gang. Anyhow if anyone else has to pick up tickets from the box office here's the email the kind lady from MSG sent me: "Once you have received your order confirmation number, you may pick up your tickets at Will Call window #5 inside the Madison Square Garden Box Office upon your arrival to New York City anytime during normal Box Office hours. The Box Office is located at the main entrance of Madison Square Garden at 7th Avenue and West 32nd Street. When picking up your tickets, you will need to bring valid photo identification (i.e. passport) and the Ticketmaster confirmation number for your order. Please visit our Box Office information page for hours and location by clicking the following link or copy/pasting it into your web browser: www.thegarden.com/tickets/box-office.html "We hope that you find this information helpful. If we may be of further assistance, please contact us at +1-212-465-6225, any weekday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. EST. We thank you for your patronage, and we hope you enjoy your visit to New York."
