I have no idea when I'm going back to the States. I try to make it back at least once a year, and maybe next time it'll be on my own dollar. If I do, you bet your ass I'll try to make it for a con. (Maybe not AB, though. <_< ACen's been top priority on my list of must-visit cons for several reasons. AB's up there, though.) It's all about that stupidly fine balance between having the time and having the money.
