btw, do you have any suggestions for somewhere affordable to stay during the weekend of july the 4th?(that's when the festival is)
if i can't find somewhere affordable i may not be able to attend, which sucks. the festival is in the east village, but i can stay elsewhere in the city and hop on the subway to get there if need be. any suggestions?
