"Don't waste any time mourning. Organize!"
-Joe Hill
My brother texted the family group chat this quote before he went to work today. I'm not in a good place this morning, but we can't lose ourselves to despair. I know I have a lot of anger right now, but getting into whose fault that is won't help anyone.
Dwelling on the people I will never forgive won't help anyone.
I'm not that optimistic, but hope is a choice we can still make. It's a hard one to make this morning, but I'm still going to do my best. We are where we are, and focusing on yesterday won't change that. We can only move forward, and save as many as we can along the way.
There will be a tomorrow because we're going to make sure there's a tomorrow.

I remember doing something similar. I remember going to the storage unit for No Brand Con with someone who knew the combo to the lock. We went to check in on the stuff and I ended up taking a staff tshirt from that last year’s con. I told staff that I did that so they weren’t upset. It was sort of what this comic reminds me off.
20 says there is loot in there worth enough to revive the con
I have no idea, what does the rent on a storage unit run?
Seriously dependent on where, at least in the U.S. it is. Low low end in Southern Cali is like $40 to $100 and some a month – that’s like a 5X10 “Hey look it’s a closet” unit. High end/I actually need space for some stuff” like $100-400 and some. That’d be say 10X20.
Conversely a friend of mine that lives in Kentucky is renting a 10X10 for like $40, and that’s with climate control and such – so a decent one.
YMMV
So on a yearly payment, cheap end will be around $400, while expensive side could be $5000. Either way, not likely something to be paid out of pocket until the con gets back on it’s feet.
I’ve currently got a 10′ x 10′ indoor with a/c and insurance for ~$150. Same thing outdoor with no a/c and no insurance is under $100. But I wouldn’t keep valuable convention stuff in anything other than the indoor/air conditioned/insured
