going to Wiscon?

[boxofdelights]

My partner spent the government shutdown looking for a new job, and, although 1. everyone else who writes programs for government agencies was too and 2. he's 57, he found one! So we don't have to worry about the next one. But he worked for a government contractor, not the government directly, so there's no question of back pay. Those 35 days were ten percent of our annual income, evaporated.

So, I don't know whether I'll be able to go to Wiscon this year. Help me decide whether it's worth it:

you will note that my answers conflict with each other!

I do not know if I should have voted. I almost never go to any convention.

I have never been to a Wiscon since its timing is quite bad for me, but if we were ever at the same convention again, I would absolutely want to spend time with you!

I still think you're awesome (and hot)!
