I have to face the facts of life: I literally cannot afford to go to A-kon. Going to a-kon means not being able to pay my rent, from the table cost, gas, food, product costs, while I still owe my lovely button maker money as it is, not to mention other people. If i have no product, what's the point? Ultimately though, this means cannot go, since I was sharing my table with her. I'm not sure how willing she is to share space with people she is not as acquainted with (or if she is at all at this point, this is a major bummer afterall) but IF YOU HAVE IT IN YOUR HEARTS (and the table space to spare) please let us know D; I feel horrible since we decided this back in like, October, and she's worked her ass off on artwork, then I do this let down. Life does this crap sometimes though. I know that ultimately, it's the best decision for myself as far as my money and my friggin SANITY goes (I cannot tell you how fucking crazy I'm going right now), and I need to use this time to find a job that lets me afford rent better. That said, I probably won't be at another con until next year because I cannot afford the time towards them. Booooo..
