Wow, I admire your willpower. I've yet to attend my first repticon. I was going to go to the one in SoCal at the beginning of the year and then I got into an accident that totaled my car. Believe me, on the days of the repticon I was just itching and hurting that I couldn't go. Yeah, I cried too. I don't think I could possibly go to one and not bring home someone special.
