Well, it's finally finished, and my god what a frenzy at the end. My friend and I had a limit on what we were prepared to spend, went over that and then still lost the places we had!
Right at the last minute I was pipped to the post of putting a last ditch bid in to get my friend a place, running out of time just as I was about to confirm the bid.
I managed to secure a place, again at the last minute, but am now in two minds whether it's a good thing or bad thing because my friend didn't get a place. Don't get me wrong, like all good friends, she's telling me to go and is pleased that at least one of us should take it, rather than us both missing out. I've been told to get some good photos - hah, fat chance! This being our first, and more than likely, only Gatecon, I suppose I should be grateful that one of us is getting the chance to see the set, I know that I wouldn't want her to give up the chance if I had missed out.
Anyway, to all those that have been successful, congratulations. To those who were pipped to a place, and it would seem there are a lot of people, sorry it didn't work out for you.
We'll see everyone next week - once again, have safe journeys, regardless of how far you are travelling.
