Not enough Moolah, not being able to convince the Mrs. that it is necessary, not enough time.

New house, new wife, new child.

That said, if it was within 20-24 hours drive away I would still go. Texas is just too damn far...

It is 1500 miles away!!! In freakin' TEXAS  for crying out loud. What about having the next convention in the SF Bay area? I'd be there in a NY minute!

The AHII Con begins Thursday. The roster of confirm attendees is amazingly bleak  :cry

What's keeping you from going? Come on folks...this is a MUST event for a great time. Be there. Rumor has it that Skuzzy will be manning the "dunk tank" Saturday afternoon between 1:00 - 3:00 pm  :D

money and time. lack of both

I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY wanted to go to the CON this year (I had been planning on it since I got the word--I am within driving distance) but I am closing on a house and moving that week.  It wasn't PLANNED that way, but it turned out that way.  I just got back from a Carribean Cruise and tomorrow is the closing day, and we move all the rest of the month to the new place.

It sucks because there were some folks I wanted to buy a few Stolichnaya's that I missed the chance to meet.

If I actually believed you were all real people, I wouldn't be able to insult you as effectively on ch. 200.

I prefer the anonymous red icon thingy.
