Had a Nostrich-discounted ticket for TC6 last year that I couldn't either utilize nor transfer to anyone else that could go (should have made the offer here rather than Nostr, I guess), and I've been somewhat bitter about that fact since I know with absolute certainty I'll never be able to attend without spending $800+ on just room, board and ticketing cost alone.

Nonetheless, I hope this year's conference is even better than the bits of last year's I saw.
