Heh, that's how I ended up going last year. The hotel being five minutes from where I work and 45 from where I live... not going seemed stupid. And I had a good time, mostly by skipping everything and hanging out in the bar the whole time, and met a lot of cool people, so I'm glad I went. But this is across the country from me, so, eh. We will see. At some point I may get over hating the entire fucking fandom.
