I am too. to all. I think it's especially hard in this fandom to be left out of the festivities because a lot of us feel such a strong attachment to this man - it's almost like missing a big day in the life of a friend or family member. Not quite, but hopefully y'all understand what I mean! For those who are thinking/hoping to go, I do hope that something works out for you.
ETA: I just saw your post, rohdy - my neighbor to the north! If anything changes, my mom & I are going April 18th.... we've got a room reserved with space to spare.... just sayin'.....
