If anyone wants to buy a gold badge for SXSW from me, lemme know. I can't go for unexpected medical issue and although they initially said they'd refund, I provided a doc note and now they won't...So if you want to buy, lemme know I can transfer it. Thanks. (I'll be watching on the live streams I guess this year)
aw that is harsh....you got the right attitude though so kudos for you.
thanks! although, I've had varying degrees of good / bad attitude over not going, my practicality sometimes can get the best of me. I'm letting it go I guess, as health and day job and to save money are important right now. I have feelings of regret for missing activities, seminars & shows I'd really like to see. (including talk/show w/ Depeche Mode! Dave Grohl! (although some things will be streamed online...).
I guess I understand their position, and maybe not surprised they can't provide a refund even for medical, but their response was odd. They asked me for more detail (not req'd per HIPPA) and changed their refund req'mnts in each conversation, all which I supplied. In the end, they said no.
Anyway, thanks again - I'll be more positive!
Hope whoever goes has a great week. Lemme know if anyone wants it, even for half $ I'd give it away to someone who would like to use it.
