I was unable to attend this year because I have a life and don't want to go to a convention that doesn't really have anything of value besides the reason of going in itself. The only reason I would go is for a 4chan panel...

Oh wait, no reason to go then.

Go to a small con where the staff values you attending, that isn't just a corporate cluster fuck and save the money. You can use it to move out of your mom's basement.
