I take it you've never been to TFCon?

If you have, the show and location was announced 11 months ago, it's not like the show just sprung out of nowhere.

After last year, did you expect this year to be bad?

People are coming from the US to attend TFCon, but you're going into the US to escape TFCon.

Out of curiosity, what's going on in Pennsylvania?
