Let me know when you'll be around and I'll do my best to meet up. I've taken the liberty of linking your AX material in the body of this post...

Add the lack of professionalism from the A/V staff, and the multitude of things that went absolutely wrong, and what was supposed to be a top notch concert ended up being just memorable. Sure, it was good, but other concerts ended up feeling more professional and engaging (Tsuchiya Anna and Oreskaband).

I usually have to take the bus to the station, which amounts yet more wasted cash better spent on loot. I once cycled to Joetsu Gunma-souja so I could save on the busfare to JR Maebashi. Juggling loot on a bike is harder than on foot, so the ride home was dicey to say the least. Well with a vehicle, it might be possible to just drive down to Tokyo, Route 17 leads directly to Akihabara from what I've heard. Parking might be killer, though. anything that won’t fit in my bike basket = Truth. I usually have to take the bus to the station, which amounts yet more wasted cash better spent on loot.

I found an apartment half way between my job and the train station, which is nice, but lack of a vehicle is certainly an issue when I want to pick up anything that won't fit in my bike basket. -_-;; Agreed, once you get out here in the sticks (relatively speaking) the stations are just spaced too far apart for it to be a practical mode of transportation.

Sorry on my part too. Well, I assume it's about 1300 yen from Isesaki to Akihabara, so I can see your point about the cost. Costs about 2200 yen via Takasaki, so I can see your point about the lower cost. Maebashians manage to get the 1890 yen fare to Akihabara, and the option of the Joetsu line. Which is good, except that the stations are just too damn far away. My kingdom for a better rail system, I say. Oops. Sorry on my part too.

By the way, if you'd like your comments to appear immediately you just have to enter some junk data into the name and email fields and keep it consistent, once a comment with a certain name/IP combo is approved subsequent ones will be approved automatically.

Akiba via Takasaki is more convenient from Maebashi, but atrociously expensive from Isesaki. Damn, being 3 stations apart really does make a difference.

It's much cheaper than JR, and would be ideal if only there was more than one train a day that rode the whole length of the track. >:( Isesaki is at one end of the 東武伊勢崎線, so I usually just take that to 北千住 and switch to the 日比谷線 to get to Akihabara.

I'm in Maebashi myself. Takes me about 4 hours to get to Akihabara from where I live, by 両毛線-高崎線ー山の手. I assume you use the same route? Pretty inconvenient, especially if one doesn't own a car.
