Flights
I've looked for 16/05/2011 - 23/05/2011 - but if you can find any cheaper flights, let us know!
Manchester to NYC - (no stops) £460
Manchester to NYC (one stop, via Dublin) - £431
Good sites for flights

Consider doing an apartment sublet.. can be WAY cheaper than a hotel!
consider contacting me about getting a hostel room together. i found a place that's $20 a bed and less than 10 blocks away from eyebeam. maybe we can try and get the whole hostel full of blip attendees like we did last time. and the year before
Probably be driving/taking the bus from Allentown, PA, so if anyone's done that kind thing before hook me up with what you did!
While I'm at it - I need an accurate count of who's in for the Blip Hostel this year. It's $20 a night (+ tax) - it's better to reserve spots for everyone's beds at once so we all crash together
i might be? it depends on if someone else wants to host me on their floor
well, for what it's worth: http://www.chelseahostel.com/
i suggest booking that shit now. it is the closest hostel (and cheapest) to eyebeam.. has free breakfast and offers awesome stuff like pizza nights/bar crawls/etc)
I'm totally in for the hostel, and so is my gf who will be attending also
thx for the link facundo
no problem alex! hope we all get a room together! once i get an email back for my reservation i'll have an actual email address to contact these people and see if they can group us all into one room.

I got my confirmation email!
me too!
also, james, the confirmation email said something like no guarantee of people staying in the same room. i say once we get there we take over it. that's what we did at lafayette hostel the past 2 times and it worked. just go there, request that we all sleep in one quarter. just make sure you get your confirmation, it costs $0 to do so.
Sleep at the Chelsea Piers. It'll be warm and without blizzards otherfuckers. Be bums for a few days.
