    More info on my trip:

    starting off in Chicago 1st aug. Heading west through north dekota and montana, finishing up week 1 in seattle. i will be spending about 5 days in seattle visiting family, before setting off for vegas and sf for week 3 and four. As i said will be playing a gig at a cousins bar at the end of august if any of you guys wanna hear the blues... leaving cali 2nd sep heading east for austin and the amazing new race track you guys a have built (hopefully gonna get a few laps around the place from an old sim racing buddy from way back when). Next will be heading to the east coast and charlotte and get my fix of all things nascar. final week will be heading north ending as close as i can to ny. before crossing the border and visiting feedle land. for two weeks of chilling around niagra and maybe a little light traveling. i have had many offers of a beer or 3 and will try as hard as can to see at least some of you. i will start making plans for dates of visits later this week once i have a few things confirmed by family n stuff. Any quetions just join me in party chat over the next few nights.

    Not sure if you are using a passport or nex card etc.. just the border at the states/canada is tight compared to usa and mexico. Thank 911 and the boston bs for that. Theres many places to stay in the falls and the 2 casinos there are busy as hell.

    ok man i should be on later.. theres a few rv parks around the falls as well... check online and check prices or book them.

    Canadian dollar is close to us now so its not much of a difference ...
    its not recommended all the time to have canadian currency if you have american but in the states they seam to hate anything canadian including our empties.
    Found that out at the bills game in buffallo and it was the best tail gate party i ever been to.

    One thing you got to watch though with the falls is that everything is higher price in the city area but when you get out of it to the outer part of the falls its cheaper.

    Ie: a whopper on clifton hill might be like 7$ or a medium pizza from little ceasers 8$ but if your not near clifton hill or the over priced closeness to the falls its cheaper. Like lundys lane.

    just buy a cheap arcade edition at walmart for like 100$ or gamestop etc...
    its best to buy a new one but other then that check craigs list or something like that.
    Theres a place in my city called entertainment overload which has the best prices around but their stock isnt always full.

    Walmart for new
    Eb/Gamestop used or craigs list...
    Im not sure if you want to buy one in the usa or canada when you come here... i think the power supply for the uk ones might be different as the tvs and such like ac and dc...
    I dont know for sure...

    word of warning though as of right now niagara falls temp was 45 degrees celcius with humidex. Extremely hot and hard to breath if your outside working with heat like welding etc...
