If someone leaves japan at 11 what time will someone get to seattle? -

First I m assuming they leave on a scheduled commercial flight from Tokyo (NRT Narita International) and fly direct to Seattle (SEA).Second, there are no flights that depart at 11 am or 11 pm.However, there are two flights which depart at 10 pm Pacific Time (which is 3 pm Tokyo time). Those take 9 hours flight time, and are scheduled to arrive at SeaTac s gate at 7:00 am of the same day they departed.

11 am or pm? Any stops and layovers along the way? What route?

How long will take to get to Guadalajara if I live in Michigan? -

By plane. =]

How? Airplane, bus, driving, bicycle? Makes a big difference.

Should I Travel To New York City To Start A Band? -

Like to ask anybody out there who think I should or shouldn t go. Its kinda been my life long dream to head there, find some musicians, start a band, and be a part of music history.

NYC is NOT a good place to start a band.It s far better to make a name for yourself in a smaller city, with lower costs, and THEN come to NYC once you already have gotten your band started (assuming you ve had a bit of success by then.)Don t believe what you see in the movies. It s hard to start out in any of the arts here. It s better to come here with some real professional experience in the music business before dealing with NYC s difficult housing market, or trying to crash into NYC s competative music scene.

You can start a band anywhere in any city but the best place is your own place where you know the people, the players and the liking. Make sure you are able to get the right band boys to play the music you want best and also the like best for others. For prospect : NY, LA SF for good exposure to the entertainment world.To tell you...I did manage 2 bands in the 80s and they played Hawaiian Music BB/Beatles/Latin for shows, dances, TV Radio programmes. Need to work hard for it......is hard earning.

Do not, do not, do not come to New York to start a band. You are better off starting one elsewhere and coming here when you are established. New York City has been cited the most unaffordable housing markets in the nation, and New York s traditional advantages, such as availability of gigs and short term or lower paid jobs to help you through downtime has been compromised due to the recession.Even the most miserable hovel in the outer boroughs will set you back $1000/month and the taxes are out of control.

Listen, if you don t have piles of money for tiny rat hole apts. and you don t mind living in the streets when it s freezing cold and the alligators are rattling their teeth while trying to get warm by cuddling with female alligators but it s no use she s cold blooded too and doesn t have a warm bone in her body so don t go below when the gators are looking for warm bodies. Just stay on the subway station platform and let them throw pennies at your open guitar case if you are good and used chewing gum in spit balls if your not. So all in all come on down to NY because some musicians need a little hard living once in a while to get great before they get dead or would you rather stay in sunny funny good old Nevada and boring UNLV chasing wild coed s all over campus. Hell what kind of life is that anyway?

If you do learn how to drive a taxi in Manhattan. That skill will come in handy when it comes time to pay the bills. Nonetheless it s a tough, jam packed road to music stardom. At least you ll have plenty of company and plenty to talk about with those striving to make it.

.

I agree with the answer above me. Try starting in another smaller city first, then go to NYC. Good luck!

Go for it

What rides can you bring a small string bag on in Epcot? -

I m going on a field trip tomorrow and want to bring some snacks, an ipod, and some extra clothes in the bag and I m wondering what rides I can bring the knapsack on. Thanks!

As far as I remmeber you can take a small string bag on all the rides. Some of the rides you can hold the bag in your lap or at your feet. Some of the other rides have baskets under the seats or in front of you for you to put your bag in, but don t forget it in those baskets. I have almost done that a couple of times.

I can t recall a lot of rides in Epcot apart from test track and soarin, and you can take a small bag on both these rides, you can put the bag at your feet in the car of test track and there is a basket under your seat on soarin to put your bag. we did that, we have 2 little girls and needed to take drinks and snacks too in a small bag, so you should be OK with it in this park.
