Insert obligatory comment about how there is no love for east coasters.

Well knows he who uses to consider, that our faith and knowledge thrives by exercise, as well as our limbs and complexion. Truth is compared in Scripture to a streaming fountain; if her waters flow not in a perpetual progression, they sicken into a muddy pool of conformity and tradition. A man may be a heretic in the truth; and if he believe things only because his pastor says so, or the Assembly so determines, without knowing other reason, though his belief be true, yet the very truth he holds becomes his heresy.

Re: Blizzcon 2008

I'm looking at a $240 round trip flight if I buy now-ish (will probably book as soon as I have a ticket), $100 for the ticket, $45/night for hotel (splitting with someone potentially), and food.

EDIT: Oh, and about a tank of gas to and from the airport from school.

If I get the Frostmourne I am almost certainly eBaying that shit. I would keep the bubble hearth just because I am a huge faggot and it makes me giggle.
