I just have to figure out something to do in 2013. I&#8217;ll obviously go to Can-Con again, if you are wondering. How could I not? It&#8217;s. Right. There.<\/p>\n<p>One funny thing about EuroCon 2012 is the payment system. They are only accepting bank transfers. It&#8217;s actually cheaper for me to buy my membership when I arrive than ahead of time, even though it&#8217;s twenty Kuna more. The international bank transfer fee is fifty Kuna. That&#8217;s thirty Kuna I could spend on beers! NB: Fifty Croatian Kuna is slightly less than ten bucks, and the most I paid for a local beer this spring (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ratebeer.com\/Place\/empty\/zagreb\/tolkiens-house\/21234.htm\">Tolkien House<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.drinksinzagreb.com\/pubs-and-bars\/hopdevil-belgian-pub-branimir\/104\/29.html\">HopDevil<\/a> aside) was fifteen Kuna, so there.<\/p>\n<p>I have also made a pledge to myself that I will have made at least one sale by the time WorldCon 2014 rolls around, and I intend on making good on it. That being said, back to writing!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>(ED: I also have made a pledge to not hit the &#8220;publish&#8221; button before I&#8217;m actually done writing a post.
