Ahhhhh I'm supposed to be saving money for Anime Expo in July, but my friend hasn't gotten back to me on how much our hotel is going to cost. I'm guessing roughly $120 per person, which is all I've got. No big deal. Food money? EHHH I can pack food from home if need be (although I do love me some foodtruck food).

But what I'm really concerned about saving money for is dealers hall and artist alley stuff @_@ some of my favorite artists are going to be selling in the alley and I just want to throw whatever money I have at them. I'm already pretty concerned that one of them won't have what I want for sale since she just did a con the other weekend and reopened her etsy and the item I want isn't in the shop (she posted the item on other social media so i'm guessing it sold out in person before even being listed) AHHHHH. I know I'm going to want to spend at least $50 on her stuff (prints, postcards, notepads, buttons, everything ;_; and maybe a commission).

And then there's dealers hall...where I'm not as concerned, since I don't keep up with a lot popular anime, but there are some specific series that just slay me. I'm on the hunt for Puyo Puyo items, K-On blind boxes, and maybe I just might splurge on something Free! even though it wasn't a good anime but I loved it anyway @_@

Now...saving up until AX isn't a problem, I can do it.

BUT THERE IS CURRENTLY SOMETHING THAT IS TEMPTING ME
A lolita friend that lives up a few cities north is selling a skirt from on my favorite lolita brands for such a good price ($50) and I REALLY want to buy it from her before someone else does, but I don't want to spend nearly half my money when I'm not sure when my other friend is going to collect the hotel money. She's also selling another cute skirt for the same price, and while not as tempting as the first, is still such a good deal T^T And I don't want to ask her to hold it for me unless I know I'll be able to get it relatively soon...

*sigh*
lolita/convention problems...
