@tishaban
the grado pads, you're looking for your sr-60 or others?
I have a pair of sr-80 and i'm wondering whether i should continue using bowl pads or the flat pads..

Boss, can this gift card used for US iTunes Store purchase? If can please get me one $50 hehe..How to make payment to you?

UGPM.

Good info, thanks bro. I suppose if I show the list you made to the guys at B&H about the Tiffen stuff, they'd know? I'm going to both B&H and J&R. Armed with the NYC subway map downloaded from iTunes Apps Store, getting lost is a worry of the past.

UGPM.

Never get lost in NYC ever again. Impressive 3D model of Manhattan, without the need of accessing network at all!

Participants finalised. You will be contacted once your items are secured.

Dude, carrying around a subway map is so touristy Real New Yorkers stand in the subway and look at the map there over people's heads

Anyway, I included the B&H part numbers for the Tiffen filters so the B&H guys will know. If you're not sure then don't worry about it, I'll get them the next time around.

I'm using the Grado SR60 btw, so the original flat pads would be great. However I checked both B&H and J&R websites and neither stock them. I don't suppose you're going out to Brooklyn to get earpads so again if they're not available then no worries.

Finally, I want to see pictures of Great Adventure!!! Thanks stringfellow!

LOL, the map is on the iPhone, so I'll look like I'm checking my messages or something. As being a real NYer, hopefully not the rude kind. The NY Subway can be creepy sometimes.

I'll so what I can on the Grado pads. Can't really squeeze in Brooklyn into the trip, not enough time.

You'll get more than pictures, I'm bringing my Xacti! HD GAdv baby! I'll upload the clip, both HD and SD while I'm in Stockholm before returning to KL.

God kväll from Scandic Sollentuna, Stockholm!

Finally figured out what I'm gonna get in NY....... Kindle 2!



It's 20:20 in the evening here, but the sun is still shining bright outside like it's 4pm!

Off topic, but I still say no to the Kindle (1, 2 or DX). The Kindle is so not me. I read a lot and still prefer a regular book or audible if I want to bring it along with me in electronic form.

BTW string if you're into SF I really enjoyed Spin by Robert Charles Wilson. Yes it's available for the kindle and on audible

Yeah, that's one of the shortlisted title I'm planning to get. "Rendezvous with Rama" and the "Time Odysses" series, and as many Isaac Asimov and Gene Wolfe books I can get my hands on should complete it.

Tish bro, BHPhoto is closing early on the 28th (2pm) and closed on 29th and 30th. That news is posted on their webpage. MH90 arrives at 1030, and by the time I'm ready to dash out of the hotel, it would already be 1pm already. I'll try my best, but I fear time may not be on our side.

stringfellow no worries if you don't get to B&H. It's really not a big deal, thanks very much for your help.

@tishaban,
Find someone else to get it for U and pass it over to stringfellow - U've sufficient contacts in NY I'm sure

Yeah, sending to the hotel works. I've just received confirmation that my Kindle 2 is already waiting for me at the hotel. Yippee!

Back from Manhattan. Results!

Harmeet,



Zaakath,



Friends,



To Neekun and Rawn, hunting for your items will be on the 30th. I'm heading down to Park Row near Ground Zero for J&R Music Store for Rawn's items, and on 7th Avenue to check out the southside branches that sells BuiltNY sleeves. This may also the venue to look for Tishaban's and Hanzx Grado spongepads as B&H Photo Video is closed until Monday. Stay tuned.

On a not-related note , weather is foul in NYC today, micro-drizzles around, keeping things damp. But I dont know if it a spot-a-celeb-day in NYC, because I saw FOUR of them around Manhattan today! Rub shoulder with Julia Roberts as she was crossing the street southward along Fifth Avenue with a shopping bag in hand, "Lt. Ellen Ripley"'s Sigourney Weaver was shopping at Sak's and Co, and of all people, John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston at Apple Store Fifth Avenue! Eyes went bug-eyed from all these sightings, but these folks are cool with the attention, in fact almost taking things cool like normal New Yorkers.

Broadway's closed along 47th St. as chairs are laid for folks to relax around the Flatiron and Times Square area. Radio City Hall near 30 Rock (Rockefeller Plaza) are filled with purple robes graduates from the Hunter College of The City University of New York. Also went to the Nintendo World Store, but after looking at their selection of games, and price, Gamestop is surprisingly cheaper!

As for me, bought these:-

Amazon Kindle 2 with matching leather cover, EA Active Wii, inFamous PS3 with Unchartered 2 demo, Bionic Commando PS3, Patapon 2 and USD100 worth of iTunes Gift Card. Pics to come later.

Added on May 29, 2009, 3:06 pmAH1N1 Update: The weather here is not helping, being drizzly and damp most of the time. New Yorkers however do not care. No masks in sight, but surprising, during my shopping walk yesterday, not a sneeze heard. Maybe even the NYers are immune to the not-so-hygienic conditions of the Big Apple? 3 schools in Brooklyn and Queens was however closed due to swine flu scare but they are opening today(Fri.). Personally, other than the chill around here, feeling fine. So AH1N1 = meh?

Wah String...got sighted Jennifer and John at Apple Store!?!?! I wanna go NCY too

SF hving quiet a time in nyc eh...:
dream city 2 go to for me one day la....
thx for da case...u r best bro...

Update!

Rawn/Ron,



To the rest, I've received your messages of request AFTER I left NYC, so I'm afraid the items on request aren't possible to get.

AH1N1 Update: Nobody is sick, and not a single soul on NYC care enough to wear a freaking mask. Nobody was sick on the crew side as well, even while we all had mingled around in crowded areas in Fifth Avenue and Woodbury Commons. *shrugs*

Tish bro, pics and videos of Six Flags Great Adventure to come. Awesome deal from NJ Transit includes transport from Newark Penn, return as well, plus the admission ticket for USD47. Crowd was thin enough for me to get to all the rides, but unfortunate the main reason why I was here, the Kingda Ka was closed for maintainance.

Image removed to the iPhone Picture thread.

Images moved to the iPhone picture thread. I guess when people are jealous or hold grudges against you, there's nothing they wont nitpick at. Wankers.

Superman Ultimate Flight.


Bizarro's after waterspray-to-inversion, and the flamethrower!


A taste of the next-door Safari Park.


The view across the lake towards El Toro, the mammoth wooden coaster, and the tallest and fastest coaster on Earth, Kingda Ka.


Six Flags Great Adventure's latest new addition, the Bizarro. Originally called the Medusa, they chopped off the flooring, making it floorless, add side speakers on each side of the seats, and adds THREE water spray misters and a flamethrower along the ride. Freaking awesome!


Bizarro's Point-Of-View (POV) of how it looks like when you ride at the front.


Superman Ultimate Flight POV. Chicken-shit need not apply.


The King of Rollercoasters: The Kingda Ka. Wipe your ass on the way out, coz you may have soiled yourself.
