Request Regarding the NYC show:

[inner_demons_]

Hi everyone :)

My two friends and I are camping out over night from Monday to the Wednesday before the show. So we're going to have about 3 days worth of clothes and blankets packed away.

Unfortunately, (oh this is important for most people) The Fillmore does check bags. If it's small enough to be considered a purse, you are allowed to take it

I'm staying with a friend in Long Island or I'd offer to help, but I do remember seeing small lockers in Penn Station you could rent if all else fails.

[inner_demons_]

Thanks :) We thought of the ones in Grand Central as well, but Penn Station is probably closer, huh? Glad for the suggestion, we'll definitely look into it if we don't have plans by the 28th!

I'm planning to arrive in the city around 6:25ish am the day of the show. I have a hotel a few streets away. I was hoping to find someone to meet up with in line who could keep my spot while I ran to my hotel around 3pm to check into it.
I'd be totally willing to let you store the stuff in my room if you'd save a spot for me and a friend? I usually am not all that comfortable with doing that usually, cause it feels like I'm cutting people and stuff in line, and I know sometimes people get really angry about that. However, there's lots of people doing that this time, a couple waiting in line,then others joining, and it's just me and a friend that are joining.

I'll be brnging cookies too :0) so think you'd mind saving a spot for me and a friend? if you don't mind, all I'd really ask is please sort of spread out a bit, so that when we come, we've got room to sit LOL and please let the people immediately behind you know that we're coming, so they're not like 'wtf??' lol

That is because it IS cutting people in line. No amount of "blanket holding" warrents cutting some poor soul who has been there much longer. That person got there early Tuesday morning for a reason.(Just in example, as I have come in contact with someone who is planning on doing that) It is so wrong on so many levels and people who do this should be ashamed of themselves (Not that they cared much in the beginning since they already have it in their heads that its okay to do this.) I have been to so many concerts where I went from #10 in line to #20 and it PISSES the living hell out of me.

Line etiquette is very simple. Why do people bring it upon themselves to mess it up? What is so hard about getting in the spot that corresponds to the time of your arrival? Greed?

(Apologies to my harsh words. This was more a general statement then a direct attack to yourself. Your post just inspired it a little).

[inner_demons_]

Hm, I think that's a little extreme ): At some concerts I've been two, I've seen groups of like 6 people cut in line and that drives me up the wall. But I don't think two people is something to get really angry over.

Especially when she would really be helping us out a lot. I mean, there will only be two of us to begin with, so I don't see it as a really big issue. I guess if there were like more than four I would be unhappy as well.

[suicidesinrehab]

You do not get the point do you? The fact is, it's cutting PERIOD. Sure she is helping YOU out, but for the rest of us, its doing more harm then good. Trying to justify a disrespectful act with numbers is just ridiculous. You also forget the countless others who think just like you with the whole, "Oh, its just one friend what harm can it do?" That adds up really fast. What is so hard about the concept of lines?

Also, it STILL does not justify her cutting someone who has been there for a day already, just because she holds onto someones blankets and extra clothes. Really now? There should be NO barganing for spots in the line. The spot directly behind the last person should be the spot you take and stay in as it is rightfully yours.

Well i'll be behind you and personally i don't really have a problem with it. i've done that same thing before and am actually trying to find a place to stash my blankets as well. me and my two friends will be showing up between 1-5 PM on the 27th and don't have a place to stay the night. we'll be sleeping on the street as well, so if you help us out with a place to stash our blankets along with yours then we'll share our pizzas and sodas!

as a dedicated fan as well, i see no harm in making a slight sacrifice in fellow-ko-miyavi respect to keep yourself safe and also to ensure all of your hard work paying off.

Comment on my journal if you wanna talk strategy for our blankets! ^_^

[inner_demons_]

Hey :D Glad to hear that. Unfortunately the girl who commented above won't be meeting us, but one of our friends did offer if she manages to find a place to stay. Otherwise she'll be camping out as well XD

I'll try and let you know if we hear any offers, otherwise we're going to be stashing everything at Grand Central, cause they have lockers they rent out.

And I love your philosophy :) I agree entirely. Look forward to seeing you there!

[aiichiashida]

Oh, grand central? is that close to the concert? i'm not able to walk too far right now and am hoping to save most of my walking for potty runs and food lol... but i guess i could have one of my friends go with you to the station so we can all share the lockers or at least so no one is going alone.

though, it would be nice if we all could find a better place to stash our things... like a hotel/motel room lol

[inner_demons_]

Uhhh, it's not bad. I guess I'm used to wandering around that city so it seems pretty close to me. I agree though, hopefully we can find a better spot :) We might have to play it as we see it. But at least we have a back up if we don't.

[kell13]

well i agree with Suicide on this one, im going to this concert, as well and it drives me stark-raving-mad to see people cutting, yes it DOES add up, because other people will see their friends, and want them to cut in as well. so, instead of two people cutting in, you get maybe 6 or 7. i believe in the whole line philosophy of timing in line. you get the spot when you get there, and your number doesnt change. yes, its a nice gesture when you think about it, but in the long run it'll piss everyone off when they have to wait THAT MUCH longer to see the all-mighty Miyavi. wakarimasu? ^.^

woohoo
line-naxis ahoy.

[inner_demons_]

I can see where you are both coming from and I know it can be annoying but I really can't be expected to leave a friend alone who may be coming later than I am. In this instance it will really come down to if the people around me directly complain ):

[suicidesinrehab]

Then how about you wait in line with them? Or show up at the same time? This isn't cut by association. Thats a load of bull. I like how you think the only people who matter are the people directly behind you and not others. All this talk about being fellow co-myvs but in reality that too, is a bunch a bull. You have already admitted it is wrong, and annoying and yet, you do it anyways? Some fellowship.

Stay classy.

[inner_demons_]

Wow, you're really not going to give this up are you? Come find me at the show, and scream at me if you want. This is getting repetitive. I understand what you're saying, and call me what you want but I'll be letting my friend join me in line, and you are welcome to do so as well.

This was a simple informative/requesting post and I would appreciate it if you would stop making this a slightly larger problem than I think it needs to be. You were extremely rude to begin with and I don't see the point of debating this anymore.

[kell13]

i agree, i think she was being completely logical and reasonable with what she was saying, you are the one being rude. it was an OPINION, not an obnoxious threat.

get over it.

[inner_demons_]

I think she could of brought up the subject in a slightly more polite way ): I was more than reasonable at first and I simply wanted to get across my opinion as well. I am slightly annoyed that afterwards the topic was brought up yet again.
