Huh, I also live only 20 minutes from the 
convention center. It's sweeeeet to have a con 
that close. No lodging costs, and everything 
becomes that much easier when I don't have to 
lug my purchases and cosplay things on a plane! 

That's too bad about Curt not coming though. -_- 
Still, I'm sure I'll manage to spend just as 
much anyway... the dealer's room has a way of 
doing that. Oh dear.
