Yep, Lowlands is a three-day (music) festival (but most stay 5 days - one day before it starts so they can get a good spot for their tent and one day afterwards to clear away their tent and such). I wouldn't be bothered if it was our anime con (though I won't go their either). Lots of people go there. But I will try to make it there next year..
Ah well, I'll just look at it from the bright side: instead of going to lowlands three days, I'm going to London for three days. It's quite a lot cheaper, since the ticket for Lowlands is quite expensive and then you have to buy coins which are also really expensive to buy food and drinks there. And of course you have to get yourself a souvenir (aka a shirt in my case) which is also quite expensive). In London I don't have to buy a souvenir (since I'll be going there again when I have enough money to go to Wicked), only for two of my friends (which is probably cheaper than a LL shirt).
*sigh*
This is so not cheering me up
