So, I ordered (or applied for, is the right word, I guess) a ticket for JIBCon 8 next year. And already paid for it. My bank account will hopefully have forgiven me till then.
I dreamed you had to go pick it up beforehand in person, so me,
herminekurotowa (although half the time it wasn't her but an ex-roommate of mine) and a friend of hers went to Rome to get our tickets. We ended up with the three of us paying for one room and a couple more people camping out on the floor. There was somehow also a huge salad buffet and a rock festival involved.
Ha, that icon. From back when I was still in denial. ;-)
