Yea, exactly what you said there is currently holding me from going. I still really want to go and I am going to see if I can find some way to.. but currently it looks a bit bleak.(I went and got everything handed in to get a passport today.. so at least I'll have everything I would need if I manage to find someone to tag along with)
And in general, thankyou for all the suppor everypony, hopefully I'll manage to find a way to get over that damned border and get a hotel room. I also hope all of you have fun at the con.
EditP(like five min after the post at that..) I might actully have found someone who will let me tag along and solve both of those problems.. so much joy. Now I just hope this won't be false hope..
