Oh sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.  This is going on my calendar.  I think a weekend in NYC can be arranged. KARAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

[daigong]

OH SHIT HYORI LEE

One of the few artists I'd drop anything and stick dick into her ass for. I am seriously considering....................................

And hey it's around NYAF too

[cool_kickin_dude]

I was REALLY worried this might happen..

anyody wanan get me a souvenir up there?

[Mugen]

this will be on my "maybe attending" list

[jaysonnj]

I'll think about going. Haha

This year the festival is moving to Randall's Island Park with the concert at 7pm-10pm (I'm guessing on Oct 10).

Mugen: You need to get out of Vancouver for one of these.
CKD: Don't expect any souvenirs. Unless things change from last year the Chuseok festival is a free festival on a much smaller scale than KMF and SMTown.

And speaking of the NYAF I think the concert will be the same night as the Puffy/Boom Boom Satellites concert. Luckily I've seen Puffy once before but would love to see BBS.

[Kimuuu]

Arrrgh, concert on a Sunday night? FFFFFUUUUU

Well.  I dunno what my situation will be by that time... would I even have a job to worry about?   Maybe not.

Yep.

And I've never seen Puffy, I wanted to see BBS and Zazen Boys too... I'm still unsure of this.

[jaysonnj]

Hey Ping I was joking about that haha. I'm a definite to go to the Chuseok Fest even though I'd love to see BBS.

Free > $32

The man Kim Jong Kook?

The kpop queen Hyori?

My favorite angels KARA?

MUGEN?

Maybe. Leaning towards a yes though thanks to KARA ( I love you girls but STOP MAKING ME SPEND ALL THIS MONEY  ). It's just right after SM Town and all the money I spent/will spend on it, who knows where I am money wise. Unlike most of you, it's over 3000mi from where I live and NYC isn't the cheapest place in the US either.

[Hart]

DAMN IT!!! Why did it have to be on the same weekend of NYAF/NYCC?

Although, I guess I could go to the concert on Sunday evening. There's pretty much nothing to do on Sundays at conventions anyways except for some last minute buying.

[Sev]

I really don't wanna miss up Hyori and KJK again, but I'm a maybe. They've been smart to put it at that weekend since Oct 11 (columbus day) is a national holiday everywhere EXCEPT California (HI, NV too), so I might be fucked.

And then in late October it's the Kim Yu-Na event thing I'm going to as well. HOWEVER, if I can get a cheap plane ticket, if I can get the schedule to work out, and if my budget allows me, then I will fuggn be in NYC for Hyori and KJK and Nicole in pjs in an elevator (again).

Never count me out. I'm as persistent as that mosquito bite you have under your foot.

[Kimuuu]

Yeah... put me down as a maybe...

[daigong]

WHOA FREE. Even better. The one where Jay saw BEG! fucking awesome

I was googling and found: http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/new-york-chuseok-festival-sept-26-27

Yes, it's gonna take place for two days(Sep 26~Sep 27) at Citi Field Parking Area and will start at noon on both of the days.

There will be a bunch of Korean Food booths which provide Korean traditional food, snacks and more.

And the good thing is there is no entrance fee. Yeah~

Pretty fucking awesome! Gotta figure out what days to spend cuz hotels are INSANE. There's gonna be an X Japan concert too on the 10th. CRAZY weekend!

[Kimuuu]

Unless our NYC Hipstaz know some in the city, I would normally just get a good, cheap hotel in Jersey and take the ferry over to Manhattan.  But I'm just a tourist.   Plz post tips!

[Mugen]

shit i wanna go clubbing in NY. 

[jaysonnj]

Yup same festival where BEG as well as Leesang and Wax performed last year. It seems like its going to be a little bit bigger this year, at least concert wise.

This is what it looked like last year


Jersey City hotels (across the Hudson river from NYC) are slightly cheaper but still pretty expensive. There are a couple of hotels in my town which are next to buses that'll take you into the city in 15 minutes. Don't know how expensive those hotels are though. I'll check if you guys are interested.

[daigong]

Put me down for "YES"

[Mugen]

^oh sheeeeeet!

[cool_kickin_dude]

where is the festival supposed to be?

If i'm planning to go to NYC(which now, after a blowup with mom looks like a possibility) how do we get around from there to the NYAF?
