Well, we'll see what it looks like next year. If people I know well enough to talk to are going, and/or there's someone I reeeeeeeeeally want to meet next year, maybe I'll consider it. If not, then maybe I'll just save my conventioneering for trips to the US to see online friends across the pond. Still, I think I deserve a few hours of sulk. But coffee has improved matters, so hey. :)
