Woe.
So I was checking out James' official site, just 'cause I thought it would be fun to torture myself with all the pretty things I won't be able to do with him and all my fellow peeps come September, and I had an epiphany.
I want to be rich.
Dude. Just the ticket to get your ass admission ALONE is $299, and that's the cheap-o one. Couple that with nightly accommodations on the ship and you tack on $139 PLUS taxes, but oh! - this is their very special DISCOUNTED stateroom price for us oh-so-lucky-ducky people who are there for the James Marsters and Friends event! Don't we just feel like royalty?? Did I mention the $15 fee for a rollaway? Aw, c'mon, Your Majesty! Why not just go for broke and make it an even $20? Hell, why even provide a rollaway at all? If they can't afford another room, they've no right to be there :p They can be sardines for a night or three. Get to know each other real good!
Not to mention the airfare, car rental/taxi, and/or hotel (if this is the route you wish to go). Oooh! But thankfully the Queen Mary does provide parking at her inner garage (which just SOUNDS wrong) for gee, how much? Well, only $10 a day, but after everything else... hell. Any penny saved is like ambrosia.
Okay. I admit it. I'm grumpy and bummed out and being a piss ant because I sooooo desperately want to go to this and the odds of it happening are, like.... LMAO!!! I seriously just couldn't believe the prices, though - even THOUGH... I would so totally pay these prices and even twice these prices to go to this thing. Aren't I amusing when I'm contradictory? *le sigh* I do it all the time. I scoff at people who buy beautiful, expensive things when I would do exactly the same thing if I had that kind of money.
I'm not scoffing at my amazing fellow James fans who are lucky enough to be going to this event, though, mind you. I'm thrilled for them :) I just find it vaguely therapeutic to mock the various fees that I would throw down in a heartbeat if only I could.
I wonder if I have any wealthy relatives who owe me one...? (yeah, yeah - so cliche, I know)
PS: Oh yeah. What up with James being in only the LAST TWO eps of the Ville?? Um, Marsters? Did I not distinctly remember a certain mention of a TEN episode arc? And I swear to God if they consider showing a picture of Fine "an appearance", then... then... they should show us his nekkid ass in the finale to make up for such blasphemy. We demand in-the-flesh quality!
ETA: *hugs Flist* Don't mind me; I've been having an extremely bad week. Really, REALLY hope things start getting better soon. You might disown me and I wouldn't blame you :D
