VidCon?

Guys, guys, I so want to go to VidCon.

VidCon is a yearly Online Video Conference (Convention?) organized by Hank and John Green. There’s music and games and hanging out and nerf gun fights and cool YouTube people and general fun to be had and I really really really want to go.
But I probably won’t.

Firstly is the issue of money. I could afford to go, but I’m not really sure I ought to afford to go. Much in the same way that I more or less could give all my friends $100, but I really ought not to. Plus there’s this other thing coming up that’s going to drain a lot of coin, and realistically I should give that priority; more on that much later.

Secondly, I’d be going by myself. I don’t want to go by myself. I’m terrible by myself. I need a second opinion. I need someone to play off of. I need someone to sanity check my stupid ideas. Like, I don’t really know how to do that many things, you know what I mean? Booking a flight, setting a budget, going from point A to point B; I don’t know how to do any of that.

I realize that I could solve these problems by one) working more and two) convincing one of you guys to go as well, but both of those are really unlikely. And I really wanted to go, too. The reason I want to go so badly (and why the thought even crossed my mind) is an entirely separate psychological can of worms that I’d gladly pop open, but would rather not do so in this particular post.

Suffice it to say, as things stand now, I won’t be going.

Next year, I guess.
