Actually, it seems the convention ends relatively early on Sunday, so I might be able to make it after all (it’s, what, a one hour train ride between cities?). Then again, I might not. I note that you seem to be the organizer for the DC meetups going by your post history. Is it permissible to maybe-show-maybe-not-who-knows?
By all means forward it to the DC list, and thanks. Given the apparent popularity of anime around here, I would be surprised if no one on it was planning on being at the con themselves.
It’s absolutely permissible to come without a definite RSVP. In the interest of full disclosure, the train ride is probably more than an hour; it’s about 40 minutes from Baltimore to Greenbelt, then another 30 on the Metro, plus transfer time, so likely 1.5 hours total.
I ended up deciding against it. By way of explanation: I worked it out and determined that 1-2 hours with you guys would actually cost me ~5 hours with close friends that I don’t see often, plus a missed convention event that I was looking forward to. The trade didn’t seem worth it.

You should go anyway though!

I do thank you for the welcome anyway, though.
That’s fair! Maybe if you visit the actual capital sometime, it would make more sense to come.
