Bc of budget reasons I decided not to attend WorldCon - even though they'll be presenting me with the Prometheus Award there.
...but now I'm pondering "go anyway, but wear my normal every-day I-live-on-a-farm clothes".

I'd contribute. Seriously I have some miles and points, could probably cover your hotel room.

Opportunities like this don't come often in life. You met your incredibly ambitious goal, go bask in the reward. You may not enjoy going, but you will likely regret not going. Go go go.

that's what
@random_eddie said too /shrug I really don't think I will. I skipped my HS graduation. I skipped my college graduation. Never regretted either of those for a MILLISECOND. I don't like people and I don't like travel and I don't like rituals. cc@LibertyFarmNH3 replies 0 retweets 4 likes -
Yes, but this is an accomplishment that is just about you. Not you and a bunch of morons you were stick with and hate. Nobody else earned this. This isn't a BS ceremony.

Yes. I am proud as !@# about the accomplishment. Truly. ...and - for me at least - that has nothing to do with spending 12 hrs in a tight uncomfortable seat, sleeping in a hotel bed, and standing up in front of a bunch of strangers. I'm basking in my accomplishment. ...alone

Look, it's simple. Figure out what your mercenary little heart will accept as suitable payment for putting up with all that crap. Then put up a kickstarter and see how much your fans REALLY want you to put on a monkey suit and smile for the cameras.

The idea has merit. Opportunity cost is maybe $2k. Expenses are maybe $1k. I'd pay $5k to avoid it. ...so market clears at $8,001
