Yup, I'm more excited now too! Can't wait to meet you!
Thanks so much for the 'no guilt' message--that means a lot to me as I have an immense guilt complex about this, as well as personal sadness because I was invested in it. But maybe at some future time! Who knows?
Yes, I learnt the perils of being overinvested last year, and I'm sure it would have been tonnes worse if I'd actually attended. I feel pretty detached from the current flailing around--the detachment is good for my mental health. However, I was really under-excited about going until recently, but just lately I've quite perked up about it. Having low expectations, but a few things that I think will be cool (specific panels, one or two people who I get along with) has made me think it will be alright! And I feel better already knowing you'll be there. Another non-US-er!
