Inui, you love Japanese television and have an interest in the language, I don't think you've been to Japan before.

Maybe if you did some research before talking it would make you look smarter.



By looking at several flights sites, I've found 900-950$ RT from JFK to Japan. Quite more affordable than 3,000$.


I was unaware that food, housing, and transportation in the nation of Japan were free. Japan is definitely not an expensive place to be right now, and the dollar is totally not weak at all.

Having contacts in Japan...is much less likely than in TX.

The flight alone for TX can be as low as $212 from my area. You're not going to be spending that much for other things in TX and it's easier to have connections there since it's in this nation (and continent, lol).

You're going to be forced to spend quite a bit in Japan in almost all cases...

I've heard about it all from both of my foreign language professors, as they both went to Japan for a while.

So what you're saying is...your john for not going to Japan (can't afford it) is somehow more legit than Pierce's john for not going to Texas (can't afford it)?

The difference in price is like...x10. That is quite significant.

Pierce afforded Genesis and other stuff, didn't he?

So what if it's a 10x price difference? That smaller amount may be just as out of reach for him as a trip to Japan is for you. Being that he doesn't have a stable career, his financial situation may well be very different from what it was at Genesis, considering that was over a year ago.

I think its better off at a hotel. We can relax, chill, and just hang out.

Funny how when venues see success they try to up the price cause their biz is failing :(

Hey guys, I don't think Inui was trying to cut at me because I haven't been to Texas. I think he was just trying to encourage me to share in an experience that he has previously enjoyed. I really do appreciate your defense though, and ROFL @ Elliot <3<3<3

Why are we arguing with Inui?...

At the end of the day, he's always right and we're always
A) Dumb as hell
B) Dumb as hell
C) Wrong.

Seriously. How dare you argue against the modern-day Socrates?

The venue is right off 80, like take the exit, it's in view.

Looking for buses near the venue for NY peoples.

164 goes from New York Port Authority Bus Terminal to about a block or 2 down from the venue "Pehle Ave and Saddle River Road"
