    In like a day and a half.

    The thing is we'll be going to New jersey for Bamboozle, and our hotel is in newark. A lot of people have told us to change hotels, or stay somewhere else, so we're a bit nervous, but everywhere is pretty much booked at this point, and so I was wondering if anyone who lives in NJ or has been there can give me any pointers for not getting shot?

    I hope this isnt in the wrong section, i have a tendency to do that by accident...

    Awesome! well yes Newark isn't exactly the most safe city :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: I don't know any more than that though, Sounds like it'll be fun though!

    xD thats reassuring. Its nearish to the airport, so im assuming that it shouldnt be -too- bad.

    Thanks everyone, we're all really excited :grin:

    <~ Lives in NJ. ^^ For Heaven’s sake Adam! It’s not THAT bad. >.< It actually depends on what part of Newark you’re in. There is a safe area you know. Since you'll be by the airport, you should be fine. :slight_smile: Just a heads up though, no worries about getting shot, but driving here can be a tad crazy, even for someone like me who has lived in the state my entire life. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
    Have a wonderful time!

    Eh, so long as you stay in a group, you're bound to be pretty alright. :slight_smile: Safety in numbers! ... Pepper spray doesn't hurt, either!

    Use fast food restaurants for potty stops instead of rest stops. Those can be scary.
