Sorry, been busy with family and generally despairing. Seems that airlines don't like selling reasonably priced tickets at short notice, so the trip down there would cost $700, which, strangely, is what it'd cost me to fly over there from England in a months time. Tried looking at trains down there but they're pricey as well, along with ridiculously lengthy. BW helped a whole lot with searching for affordable ways down there. Sadly, such a way doesn't exist, and I can't justify paying that much for a 4 day trip. I'm sorry for not notifying you sooner, and even more sorry for not being able to make it down there. :[
A two week trip could justify that sort of expenditure, though, if you'd be willing to have me over in the distant month of October. Or some other time, if Sugoicon isn't a big meet up this year. Spur of the moment speculation here, but it's a far better option than having to say "hay, not gonna see you all this year."
