How about kangaroo cold cuts for a sammich? xD
If anyone does actually really want to try kangaroo by the way, I think we can bring jerky in so long as it's in a sealed package (and so long as Eugene doesn't get to the jerky before we get to Japan 
)

Oh, if you're staying for a week or more its worth getting a suica card at the airport train station. It's easy as you just have to swipe it rather than buy a ticket for each trip
Theres some info here http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2359_002.html It just means you can't screw up by having the wrong ticket and you can use it on vending machines too

Allow me to at least attempt to be helpful 
Go to http://www.superhotel.co.jp/en/index.html and stay at Ikebukuro kitaguchi or nishiguchi (Theres a group of Aussies, including Me and Celsius, dot.AY and little-scale (for some of the time) staying at nishiguchi)
Or go to http://www.toyoko-inn.com/eng/hotellist.html and stay at ikebukuro 1 or 2.
All these hotels are walking distance to each other. Oh, and they have free breakfast!
A word of warning though, last time we went we had to change hotels half way through because we left it too late to book. I know that some of the nights and some rooms at Superhotel Nishiguchi are sold out around the time of blip already.
Only thing cheaper that these places from my research is staying in a hostel.
It does sound confusing when you look at all those details about how to get to koeji but the train is actually SUPER easy and all the announcements are in English which helps a lot (and if we're all staying close together at least we can go in a group/s)

Anyone else care to share when they're going to be there and where they're staying?
Celsius and myself arrive on 31/08 and leave on 10/09 and are staying at Super Hotel Nishiguchi in Ikebukuro.
For what its worth for those of you who haven't organised accomodation we stayed in Toyoko Inn last time and it was a bargain for what it was, and Super Hotel by all online accounts its equally good and Ikebukuro is a pretty handy area to stay in my opinion

Hey Kristy, really sorry about that. it looks like you highlighted an issue with the ticketing we didn't know about. Our test transactions went through fine. We are on it, we know what is causing the problems and will have it sorted asap and I will PM/Mail you with the relevant info.
No worries, just let me know when it's good to go

Question - how will you prove you've bought tickets at the door? The paypal receipt? Blip NY required a passport but the international tickets for this one don't ask for any information whatsoever

Counting down. September is so far away. Need holiday NOW.
BTW godinpants I'll mention this to you online but go to www.adioso.com and do a price comparison (like webjet only cleverer) there are some cheap jetstar tickets for around that time right now (or there were on the weekend) but they're going fast

Re: <Aust 15/05> New Classic, cTrix, Maddest Kings Alive, Andyexpandy, 10K (16 replies, posted in Past Events)
Performances were amazing. Both the chip and non chip artists, but if I'm going to be honest I enjoyed the people we booked much more than the others; hey, I never said I wasn't biased
10K's new tracks rock and the EP that was recorded on the weekend is going to be at least as good if not better than MKE or BRK and I cannot wait to get my hands on it!
It was awesome hearing Andyexpandy perform for the first time and meeting him. Considering he played two gigs in a day in two completely different styles (one with his band plus ours) it just goes to show how much talent he has
Maddest Kings Alive as always, amazing! His more recent stuff is especially awesome – get your hands on it if you haven’t already (although I’m not 100% sure it’s released...?)
cTrix? Those of you who will get to see him when he's in the US in a few weeks are in for a treat and as usual the crowd did NOT want his set to finish. Ever. I’m pretty sure the guy could play for a week and keep people entertained
Wish I had photos, but we didn't take any... did anyone?
We need to get a decent recording of one of our shows sometime. There is so much talent in this country – I hope the rest of you know what you’re missing!!
