Thats pretty cool, some friends and i have been toying half heartedly with the idea of taking a trip to one of the larger American cities for the last year or so, but nothings ever really come of it. Honestly the idea of it terrifies me a bit, places like New York are fucking HUGE and when you pack that many people into one area its like the insanity just explodes exponentially.
On the other hand its probably not as bad as i imagine.
Have fun dude.
