... the minimum amount I'd have to spend to fly to Megaplex, pay for a shuttle to and from the hotel, stay at the hotel, pay for attendance, and have money for other various expenses and for buying stuff in the Dealer's Den is...

... approximately $1400.

Yeah, this isn't gonna happen. I'd never have nearly enough money for all of this, and even if I did, I don't think I'm comfortable going to a different state without knowing anyone who lives there or having anyone travel and attend the con with me.

And then there's the fact that my mom probably wouldn't be too happy with me going alone or even with someone else, since she's already skeptical about this furry business anyway. I've tried to explain it to her (and I've let her know that I am personally not a furry - not right now, anyway) but she still thinks it's too strange and that I should be more concerned with school stuff than music and concerts and animals and puppets.

Maybe some day... :I

tl;dr - Bitching about not being able to go to Megaplex due to lack of funds/friends/basically everything
