DARN!
Right when I went to set aside the money for my badge, I got the word from my family that they want to bring me along for a vacation (we haven't vacationed as a family since I moved out 2 years ago).
Now, if it weren't for the fact that we're going to Kensington, England--I probably would've made a thing out of it...but England > Furry Convention.
Sorry guys! I hope anyone going has fun though. Especially those of you going for the first time. Maybe next year!
