    Bugger... the visa waiver - that takes time to come through. Do you have to do it every time you go to the US or once you do it, it's valid for a while?

    Though Al... if you had it last time you went to the US, might still be good?

    He probably already has one if he's been in the last 12 months, but mine took about 5 minutes to be authorised online.

    Firstly thanks all for all the help (and reality checks haha!!).

    Latest state of play is as follows:

    BA flights out tomorrow back on tue are ready to be booked;
    Can't get in touch with my boss to see about getting the time off - which is basically holding up everything;
    Internet is not working in the office so my bro is doing it all for me;
    I was in the US in jan so I think the visa issue is ok but better check it out;
    The kids will be fine on bread and water and no shoes for a few weeks :lol: just kidding but I have battled with myself about the whole 'this is stupid' argument;
    Appie thanks so much for the offer, I'll probably take you up on it if I get there - can u let me know the cost of the room please!;
    I'll have to pick up shuttle bus tickets - if I get the ok from the boss;
    I reckon I'll worry about tickets when I get there!

    Think that pretty much sums it up...I just need the boss to get back to me!

    Thanks again all for tour help...this is fucking crazy!!!!!!!
    I need a coffee!

    Where do I fly into? How do I get tranfers to the gig? Any spare tickets?

    Shit I'm shaking....HELPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!

    I was thinking the same!

    Al, if you book your flights, then book the shuttle, I don't think they can take payment on the day as it is a 10c organised thing, the company commissioned to run them will just have a list of names. Defo sort tickets on the day.
    If you have to come via London, I am on the United Airlines (it was cheap,but yeah I know!) flight departing Heathrow at 12.20 tomorrow, Yvi is coming in from Hamburg then on the BA flight departing Heathrow at 15.25.
    :D

    You can stop one fan, but not the entire 10C... we'll storm that place...

    Seriously though - if you can pull it off... would be quite a story to be like 'i went last minute to PJ20 from... IRELAND."

    Awesome!

    If you're going with a 10C Shuttle on Sunday...My brother and I have a rental car and hotel in Milwaukee (3 blocks from Sunday Shuttle pick up)...you can crash with us on Sat night if you want. Great story
