I thought it wasn't starting til' 10pm my time when it actually started much, much earlier.
I was free all day and really looking forward to it too. :deeper-sadness:
The majority of the people on the site are likely from Commiefornia/the West Coast regardless, so I don't think it would be entirely unwarranted/catering only to me (No offense to anyone who isn't, I know you exist too).
It's ruined by edits, but I always liked circumventing time zones by saying "when this post is 4 hours old, _____ will happen"
