It's convention time

-I am not going to AC this year.

This was mainly a financial decision, and I'm glad I made it. Granted, I'm not going mainly because I don't want to send $200 on gas getting there and back, but it's still something that gets me out of going in the first place.

It helped that we wound up on the waiting list for a table in the Dealer's area; we could respectfully bow out without losing any money on the venture. I hope to be able to attend AC next year, but in the mean time, it looks like my first (and maybe only?) convention this year will be MFM, in Olive Branch, MS. New location, so I should check it out this year, and the Dealer's tables still cost quite a bit less than the ones for AC. Then again, AC is a much larger convention, so that could always account for the price difference.

I realize this is a strange thing to mention, going to a convention, just after mentioning other financial decisions. This is also a case of the business partner insisting on going to at least one convention, though, as a vacation to get away from her unpaid day job as her mother's full-time care taker.

Le sigh~. At least I can limit the damage a bit.
