Yup, unfortunately I'm stuck in the same boat as 
you.  Down in Texas, not enough money to get 
there.  Grr!  Figures, I managed to swing it last 
year and had a ball - especially at the cel swap 
meet ^^ - though now this year a lot of the major 
cel dealers are attending -and- Nobuhiro Watsuki 
is going to be there *siiigh*  ah well.... at 
least I'll have... ah... money... yeah.... *sulk*
