Halfway to nowhere

Took the first step today and withdrew from the dealers room at FC.

Not having the stress of working a table has somewhat increased my willingness to go, but losing the income from the table hurts my financial chances of going.

I have until Sunday before I have to make a decision whether or not to cancel the room reservation. After that point, there's no turning back. If I cancel the reservation, I can't go, not without staying in another hotel (which sucks). If I don't cancel the reservation by then, I might as well go, because I'll be charged for the room anyway.

Can't advise one way or another, but I'm not sure I could justify going if there weren't someone/something special at the con to make the expense seem worthwhile. Then again, you never know what might surprise you there. Myself, this will be the 7th year in a row that I haven't gone to a furry con, and I don't feel that my life has been diminished in any way. It's actually a source of strength for to me to know that my happiness is not dependent on the fandom. I do miss the getogethers with friends, tho. I miss that quite alot...

What happened to the dealer's room table? how much it costs? Perhaps I might find it interesting, dunno, sell something

After releasing it, the table was going to be offered to the waiting list of people who wanted tables but didn't get them. A table at FC costs $75, not including membership.
