As a non-news point, I'm jealous of whoever will be able to afford to go to this.

Even with the added guests, $500 is still WAAAAAY too expensive for this. Especially because I already bought either black or blue labels on all the books they're offering as part of the package. Give me a no book/no sketch option for $250 and I'm in.

Yeah, for me it was:

1. Too late being announced, I already got me and my girlfriend set up for the Sea World thing that day long before this was even announced to exist.

2. Too damn expensive - would have to take myself and the gf, that's a damn grand for a one day tour. Sorry.
