Crap.

 Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh.

It's Monday and I'm already so over this week.

For the third time, I lost out on a house I liked (and I REALLY liked this one) to an all-cash offer. This is getting really old.

I just got a letter from the Dealer Coordinator for WorldCon*. Guess what? If I want electricity for my booth, I'll have to fork out an additional $130. If I had known that when I applied, I probably wouldn't have done so. With that little addition to my expenses, the cost of my ONE TABLE (no skirting, I guess I'm lucky I get a chair) will be almost $500. This is approaching Dragon*Con-like levels of expensive. 

I really want to to do this show. But they seem to be trying to make their money off of the smaller dealers. They've offered the larger vendors a break on their tables, but not us.




* Dated April 26. Six weeks? Has no one heard of email?

Sucks about the (third!) house. I hope you find something you like and the deal works out for it soon. *crosses fingers*

And that's a tonne of money, just for electrickery. :)

Who are these people paying in cash? Ukrainian mobsters?

People who have already sold their previous home. I'm a first-time home buyer, so....

Augh, sorry on both counts. I feel very lucky that when we got our house, the market (at least here in Bryan) was much easier to deal with.
