New York Comic Con Craziness

We waited until 12pm EDT for 3 day passes to go on sale. As the 4 day passes sold out in under an hour last week. I know, I tried to buy them. NYCC's website for purchasing tickets, crashed today shortly after the tickets went live (high demand much?).

So you click on the page where you (hope) are going to purchase tickets. Instead of taking you directly to a cart, you get put in an online queue. Supposedly you are placed in que in the order you arrive and will be forwarded to the ticket page as the line moves. NYCC advised NOT to refresh your screen in the queue. We tried to play the numbers game and opened a page on my computer, and a separate one on my husband's computer. As we needed to purchase multiple 3 day passes (for us) and several Saturday only passes (for friends).

My husband had to leave, so I started watching the two different computer screens. I also brought up the ticket system on my iPhone as well. I grabbed one of our iPad mini's to keep me entertained while I waited. As I didn't dare navigate between any screens during the queue.

After waiting in queue for almost 45 minutes (after the initial website crash). My husband's website came up to the cart. I jumped over to his computer and madly tried to click on tickets. My heart DROPPED. It said that 3 day passes were already SOLD OUT! Okay I told myself. Don't panic, you are still talking to that person on eBay who has the 4 day passes up for sale. Get the Saturday tickets you need.

Shoot, how many do we need now? B&R, J, D, and what about cousins? Crap I can only get a max of 6 tickets. Ok, well get 6. I don't think I have typed that fast in quite some time.Complete check out, wait I have to pick expedited shipping unless I want will call? WTF, ok, pay an extra $10 for that. HOW MUCH IS TAX? Seriously you are killing me. Ok fine. PRINT confirmation.

WAIT now my computer has the checkout cart up. So I jump up again and switched computers. WHAT?!!! 3 day passes are NOT sold out. BUY!! OMG I am SO EXCITED. I freaked out when 4 day passes sold out last week. I was NOT going to be happy if 3 day passes sold out too. Very happily ordered 3 day passes and completed checkout.

Returned to look at NYCC Facebook page. They just posted about 3 days NOT being sold out. People are PISSED. Many people bought single days, or multiple single days (more expensive) since the 3 days were showing as sold out. Passes are going up on eBay with insane mark-ups. This happened last week with the 4 day, VIP and Special access passes that all sold out in under an hour last week. People are such scumbags. I like going to this event, but they really need to figure out ticket sales and the online process. This is insane.

The Day Unlike Any Other...

Everyday use to bleed together. No one particular day other then holidays or birthdays that stood apart. That changed a year ago. June 19th, 2013 and it's horrific events will forever be etched into mine and my family's lives, brains, actions and thoughts. Many families were fractured that day, and it's affects are still felt. Yesterday was the one year anniversary. I woke up at 4am alert and anxious. I attribute waking at this particular time to my mother, who for days and weeks after the event was unable to sleep past this time. I listened to the rain fall and watched the lightening flash through our make shift curtain. I eventually fell back to sleep.

I woke again, probably around 7am. I have an alarm that goes off daily so that I get up and take my thyroid medicine as I can't take it with food or anything else. This medicine also requires a 2 hour time buffer on either side of it. I think I took my medicine and then fell back to sleep.

I eventually I got up a little before 10 am. My mind kept racing, thinking about the events and the timeline that occurred a year ago. What would be happening right now? What was my sister doing? What was my brother doing? What was I doing? What was my mom doing? By 10am a year ago, both were dead. My sister, brother and I had no clue about what was happening, and my mother was in shock at a neighbor's house. My stepmother and her family were also clueless and unaware anything was amiss.

I couldn't stand thinking about all of this. What the police were doing, what was happening. A year ago, I was walking through the timeline in my mind incessantly. I couldn't stop. My husband knew something was wrong. I wasn't able to express myself. I lay on the couch, wishing I could be any where else. I didn't want to be in my own head. I couldn't get OUT of my own head. Tears fell, without warning. I just wanted to curl up into a ball and escape.

My husband made me breakfast or lunch. Pancakes with peaches and homemade maple syrup from the family farm. I played games mindlessly on a tablet, trying to get my brain to stop retelling and reliving the events that I knew by heart. It was no good. Eventually I went to sleep to escape the madness within my head.
