TexMike Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Yep, us Jerseyians have to rely on the guys at the gas station to pump our gas for us. ;) Is it because they can charge more for it that way? I haven't been in Jersey in a while, but I don't recall gas really costing more than anywhere else. I believe the point of the law was just to create more jobs for people.

DistantEarlySignals Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Yeah. I wonder what NYC will be? Probably something weird, that isn't typically thought of. Maybe the High Line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DistantEarlySignals Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) I figured out why Alex is on crutches! He falls out of the Clockwork Angels airship right before the Workin' Them Angels riff. Sorry if this was pre-stated. Excited to see the show in KC. Will try to remember to get a shot of the landmark/sing thing in the vid Edited June 29, 2015 by DistantEarlySignals 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwardv2 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 http://imgur.com/Vy4yMDX.jpg Thanks! ( I always forget there's no self serve gas in New Jersey!) I've lived 5 years in NJ and now live in the only other state where you can't pump your own gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
