"This is most likely the ONLY CONVENTION I will be attending in 2026. I REALLY WANT TO GO! I know it is no small amount, I am going to try my best to fund as much of it as I can. This amount includes Flight, 4 nights in a hotel (cheapest I can find within walking distance), and weekend con pass. I am hoping they invite me as a guest so at least the ticket will be covered but there’s no way to apply to be a guest so my hopes aren’t high."
