I ended up deciding against it. By way of explanation: I worked it out and determined that 1-2 hours with you guys would actually cost me ~5 hours with close friends that I don't see often, plus a missed convention event that I was looking forward to. The trade didn't seem worth it.
I do thank you for the welcome anyway, though.
That's fair! Maybe if you visit the actual capital sometime, it would make more sense to come.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
