And besides, she's going to end up talking about it at some point if she went. That or someone who went with her or saw here there or knew. These sorts of things always end up getting out in the end. I'm not saying she should have ended stream saying she'd see us at the con in person, but the same sort of thing I think she should have done for the JP trip would be fine. "I have to do stuff for my offkai panel over the weekend so I won't be able to do the usual offkai streams, but we can do a big catch up stream afterword's and go over everything that happened." Plausible deniability, she does have two panels there and no one really knows what the main stage one entails. Lets people know ahead of time so they aren't just sat around waiting on her at half past Pippa. And gives them something to look forward to and somewhat distract them.
