thanks ;), i didn't check the bus map i did a full on search for this bus and found nothing of worth. it's not listed on mta's site except for mentioning two events but there is neither a map nor a schedule. it's annoying. the m35 runs every 15min so i'm with you i'll take that at least it has a schedule. |

| I'm a newcomer to NYC, and the last thing I want is to make my way out to Randall's Island on my own... but I am more than ready to go out there to see my favorite DJs. Only problem is that my friend ditched me and now I have no one to go with! Is anyone else traveling solo, in a group, or was planning on going as well until your friend decided to stay in town instead? I'm 28, single, love to dance... fun and normal! PM me if you are available :) |

What if you want to walk there. Can the bridge be crossed by foot? The distance looks the size of about 2 or 3 city blocks. I can only imagine the traffic jam that's going to be going across that bridge. Giant traffic jam means late buses. Late buses could mean if you try to get there at in the afternoon, you might not make it there until that night. Not to mention the line to get inside.
Same thing when it's over. I'm picturing a giant traffic mess.
(-Edit-) I found the answer to my own question. I wonder if they will keep the foot bridge open all hours of the weekend for the event.
By Foot:
You can walk across the footbridge from E. 103rd St. in Manhattan onto Randall's Island Park during summer daylight hours.
103 Street Foot Bridge:
May 1 - September 30: 6:00am-9:00pm

I also saw on Randalls website this:
WALKING
You can walk across the footbridge from E. 103rd St. in Manhattan onto Randall's Island Park during summer daylight hours (6am - 9pm). Pedestrians can also walk across on the Robert F. Kennedy Bridge from Manhattan, Queens, or the Bronx.
So you can prob leave through the triboro bridge/RFK bridge.
Does anyone know exactly where in the island this is?? North or South end? |

| I'm planning on biking to the island. You can bike over the pedestrian bridge on 103rd Street or over the Triboro (a.k.a. RFK) bridge. I figure this way I don't have to deal with all the madness on the buses, feries, and highways. There is a car free bike lane that runs all around Randall's island and there are bike lanes all around Manhattan too so getting there by bike from the city (or Queens) is a breeze. Just make sure to bring a good lock/chain and lock up your bike while you're partying. |

I know Randall's Island well because I used to use the old stadium for practice. The Triboro/RFK ramp is next to the stadium for the Bronx/Manhattan side. There really isn't a point to doing that because you have less transportation available on the other side. The M35 is really the easiest way to go, especially because it goes across 125th St and you can stop at what ever train you need. |

When I saw those set times I thought they were well thought out. Given that nobody has even said a word about them means you all agree
(otherwise this thread would've been full of whining by now)

ELECTRIC ZOO GOES GREEN
**Stages & Set-Times**
**Getting There**
**Sonic Forest Art Installation**
**Official After-Party Info**
September 5 & 6, 2009
New York's Electronic Music Festival
Randall's Island Park
ELECTRIC ZOO GOES GREEN with 80% of the power on site fueled by
biodiesel, manufactured locally in Brooklyn from 100% soybean. The
husk of the soybean is used to make the fuel and the rest goes back
into the food chain. Biodiesel creates 78% less carbon emissions than
petroleum. There will be recycling bins throughout the site for
bottles & cans and the cups being used for serving wine & beer are
biodegradable for the trash. We'll also be recycling cardboard, which
will mostly be from backstage and vendor usage.
We encourage everyone to use public transportation! It's more
earth-friendly and parking space is limited, so if you use public
transportation, you won't have to worry about the hassle of arriving
to a possibly full parking lot! For all your transportation options,
please check the MAP & DIRECTIONS section of the site at:
www.electriczoofestival.com.
NY Water Taxi will be offering daily service to and from Randall's
Island Park for both days of the festival. Choose to depart from E.
35th St or E. 90th St in Manhattan, or Hunter's Point in Queens. The
price is $10 each way, while supplies last. To purchase ferry tickets
from NY Water Taxi, click here (
https://www.hectkts.com/scripts/max...xe?ACTION=ORDER ).
The Electric Zoo Official Afterparties will take place at Pacha NYC
(618 West 46th Street, NYC www.pachanyc.com) and upstairs at Pachita
on Saturday, September 5th and Sunday, September 6th starting at 11pm
each night. Advance tickets are available now for $20 while supplies
last. Admission at the door will be $25 with your same day Electric
Zoo ticket. These are 21+ events. Click for details and tickets (
http://electriczoofestival.com/?page=afterparties ). Line-ups will be
announced via Twitter, so make sure you're following
Twitter.com/ElectricZooNY ( http://twitter.com/ElectricZooNY ) and
that you've enabled Twitter to send you text messages.
Be sure to check out “Sonic Forest,” the audio architecture piece
designed by Christopher Janney of PhenomenArts, Inc making its
electronic festival debut at Electric Zoo. It is a stunning array of
16 aluminum columns fitted with speakers, lights and sensors that are
set off by human interaction. Electronic Zoo festival producer Mike
Bindra of Made Event states, “We're excited to include Christopher
Janney's Sonic Forest installation into our programming at Electric
Zoo. The Sonic Forest provides an interactive, aural and visual
component that will entice festival goers into a unique environment.
We hope that this is the beginning of many more artistic
collaborations in the future." The piece will run from 11:00 am to
11:00 pm each day with a drum jam in the last hour.
Electric Zoo Tickets are currently available as single-day passes at
$70 and double-pak two-day passes at $130 for General Admission. VIP
single-day passes are available at $140 and VIP double-pak two-day
passes at $265. VIP passes include a separate VIP entrance, access to
tented VIP lounge with seating, tables, private cash bar, separate
