You'd think that pre-registration would help with that, but instead, the next day, I was unable to get through the registration line as a pre-registered person because they were busy panicking about the credit card system being down. Despite this being irrelevant to me and anyone else in line who was pre-registered.

Con registration is always such a disaster, and it seems like at the cons I go to, being pre-registered doesn't make things go as much faster as they should. (In fact at some of the cons I go to you have to wait in the same line behind people who have to register on site anyway, which drives me nuts.)

The link that doesn't work is supposed to be barberio. One of the "i"s seems to have gone on a walk.
