I'd be going if it was down the road, though in America/Canada/Australia 'down the road' takes on a different meaning.

 

I once asked some bloke in Australia where the campsite was (I was walking with full backpack), he told it was just round the corner. Two hours later I was still walking lol (it wasn't funny at the time). Round the corner is 15 minutes where I come from.

 

I wouldn't call two hours of walking 'round the corner'. Well unless it was a very straight road and the bend was 16 kilometers away, and i was a cattle farmer in a beaten up hilux with a distaste for british backpackers.

 

 

Yeah the U.S. is funny because the further you go west the more driving is involved. On one extreme I have relatives in rural Wyoming who say "I'm just going 'to the city' for an errand" and it's literally a 2+ hour round trip to a large town called Sheridan. The closet town to them is called Arvada and is about 30-40 minutes away but the population is 30 people or so and the only business there is a bar consisting of a fridge stocked with Coors, Miller and a Bud Light. On the other extreme everything in the NE is pretty urban. I had a friend from Connecticut who would talk about going to NYC to see a movie when he was bored as if it was just a regular evening outing.

Not to drive this too far off topic, but New England as a whole isn't that urban, most of northern and western NE. Maine, NH and Vermont are quite rural. Both Maine and New Hampshire still have unicorporated settlements. It's not Wyoming-rural, but it's far from urban, though your general point about the northeast being dense is true, it becomes less true into NH, certainly past Manchester

on one hand, it's cool that he's complying with being "discrete" in his tweeting. on the other hand, DON'T BE DISCRETE TELL US EVERYTHING.

 

i need to go take a nap or something until this is over, i don't want to sit here hitting refresh for the next several hours.

Even from the light activity on-site so far, this is starting to seem like a lot of time/money/effort involved for just a few determined local fans who could make it out there. Expecting a step up from the video broadcast in Tokyo.
