Can't, no money, and all that not-so-fun stuff. I basically had to beg to go to Otakon this year; and I'm already slated to go to Otakon next year also (helping sell stuff, again, in Artists' Alley). Otakon AND Gencon (let alone one or the other) isn't going to happen. Never.

(Though the dates for Gencon are interesting... meh.)
