I'm coming from MA also. I'm planning on driving to the Stamford Metro North Station off 95 and taking the Metro North train in from there, dropping me in Grand Central. It's about an hour ride from Stamford and they have a parking garage. I think the round trip train is ~$20 bucks a head. It seems like the trains are scheduled ~20 minutes apart pretty consistently. I'm staying over, so if you're not I'm not sure how late the last train is to come back after the show.
I have a few spots in the parking lot at my law office in Bridgeport. It's a 1 minute walk to metro north and 50 mins into grand central. IF any1 needs a FREE spot let me know. Downtown BPT is kinda shady but I never have a problem. Then again, I'm from here and we can smell our own. Be advised its just like the pay lots in nyc, AT YOUR WON RISK, but its GRATIS to fellow jammers. PEACE EVERYONE!
Very happy I got the shirt for myself and my daughter that we both wanted and the Pendleton poster. Transformer sold out right before my eyes roughly 10-15 people ahead of me. No limit on stickers today. 2 pins per person. Awesome to meet you Chris! Overall a fun morning in line talking to others who don't look at you sideways when they learn you are standing in line for posters and tshirts. :-)

The N or R train will take you to the corner of Canal & Broadway. Then all you have is a 1 block walk north to Howard street and the pop up is a few stores up.

I got 4 hats and for clarification the small amount of hats were gon IN 30 SECONDS!!! There might have been 40 hats out for the day. I bought 5 shirts and my allowed amount of posters LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. I went and put them in my car and realized I didn't buy my wife a pearl jam met shirt. So after taking my coat off as it warmed up my super green shirt was apparent. I stood in line for another hour and bought the shirt and gasp!! 2 more stickers. I really put one over on them, I even kidded with the guy at checkout that he knew me. I would be more concerned about the guy who was FIRST in line zipped in got his stuff then told them it was stolen while he rolled his post and could they be a sport and fish some sold out sizes and hats from tomorrows allotment. His truck was out in front and he was with a buddy ( who didn't buy anything that Isaw
I don't know what you got, but I was the one who's stuff was taken right off the counter. I was 2nd in line outside and about 20 inside. Yes I had a co worker come pick me up in a truck when I was done. Didn't think there was a problem with getting a ride home. If I walked out the store with a bag of merch do you think they would have replaced it? They saw that I never got it. I walked outside to call for my ride because it was too loud inside. I never asked anyone to fish anything out of the basement. I actually asked them if I was shit out of luck and told them to go to the video tape. They told me to just hang out and they would replace it for me. I can only assume that someone is giving you shit for getting back on line a 2nd time, because I'm not going back to read all this. You know as well as every other PJ fan that there's no way in hell anyone was walking in getting what they wanted and cutting in front of the line again to get more. I think your an ass for even commenting about it because you are clueless. They only people that knew what was going on was me and the guys in charge and whoever stole or accidently took my bag. It really irks me that you would even suggest I did anything foul, not my style. If I wanted to be gready I would have just bought a friend or two with me to wait on line to buy more. Perfect case of someone ASSUMING they know what there talking about when then don't have the slightest clue of what went down. Try and know what your talking about before you start pointing fingers. Peace
Just for the record there was a third straight day of a THUMBINGMYWAY13 sighting at the popup shop, I guess you didn't bring a friend cause you were going yourself

skip the pop up, walk over to Mott, go to Lombardi's the first pizza parlor in the USA, and enjoy a slice of heaven. Then a block down to Ferrara's, the first pastry shop in the USA, get an Isabelle and expresso. molto bene!

"made with love"
Does "love" = "laxative"?
or a "very special ingredient" a'la Minnie in The Help?
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
Just got home, got in line at 945 this morning. Missed a transformer poster by about 20 people. I was talking to the guy behind the counter giving out the posters and he said that each morning the merch comes in, so they have no idea how much of each they are getting each day, but that it isnt all the same amount. Today he said they definitely got less Transformers, probably around 100. Don't know what that means for tomorrow, just thought I'd pass along what he said
"Change don't come at once, it's a wave, building before it breaks"
I assume you cannot get a poster tube into the festival? My only chance to buy one is on the way to central park via public transportation.
There's a UPS store around the corner. Ship it to yourself.

Anyone out there standing on line right now? If so how's the line looking? Any skyline posters left? I don't want to head down there (again) to find them sold out again.
if there is anyone going to this shop that could grab 1 of each sticker I would be forever in your debt, I have a bunch of extras or can paypal the money. fingers crossed someone can help me out
Line is slow. I would assume at least an hour. Not sure of inventory.
Thanks, bootlegger10! I don't think I can stand there for another hour. I did it on Wednesday morning (after finding a closed shop at 7:20pm on Tuesday night) and hardly moved 5 feet, so I had to run back to work. I was lucky last night that there were no lines, but missed the darn skyline poster by 30 min! I just want that darn skyline poster, and hate resorting to ebay!
Are the hats still selling out early every day? Would love to get that dark blue one (I hate saying the Yankees one because I'm not a Yankees fan haha)
