Not mIRC!!!
The weather is hot as balls. It was 105 today (40.5 in commie degrees). FRIGGEN HOT
In July, we had 44 here.... And yes it is annoying even for me, though normally I love warm weather.
So do get sponsorships for these contests or what? I dont know very many that pay for travel unless you're headlining, and that costs a lot of money.
In this case, someone (it's a very complicated story who he is) is giving me around 1500 Euro to go to this festival, the good part being that if I make it to the second round, I get a $500 travel refund (which is not going to cover my travel costs entirely, but still a good part of them), and I can hope for two prizes there. So normally, it shouldn't "cost" me anything, in the end. In fact, if I don't have to return the 1500 euro (which I can hope), I'm going to have a "profit", if I have certain results in the contest.
