Is anyone planning to go?
3 day passes are gone but I know a few people who have some to sell. I'm trying to decided for sure whether to go for just Saturday, all 3 days, or not at all. Man Man is on Saturday. That's the #1 draw for me this year. I sort of have to wait to get the syllabi for my classes to make sure I don't have like 4 exams the following Monday, but I think I really want to go.
