Before, article-writer, before it was canceled.
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Those poor fans in Burbank. I wish I could help them, and I wish i could punch those Booster Events people in the face.

There was a sold out convention for Firefly fans. It starts tomorrow. People flew in from all over, and the asswipes running the event just posted a message on their website that the con is canceled.
People are out thousands in some cases. And they're stuck in Burbank.

I was just googling, because I didn't know if you were around. Oh my word. It looks like they were on a roller coaster ride, too. Flanvention was off, then it was supposedly on but the website was saying it was off, then it was just off again, and the website is down.
Any idea what happened, Allyson?

No idea what really happened. I have a good idea from experience, but it would just be speculation.
I'm furious.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I know some fans in California were talking about offering an alternative venue, in case the con got cancelled so people didn't feel like the trip was completely wasted, though judging by their website, it looks they cancelled the Backup thing after being told the Con would definitely be on. Ugh.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
I have a couple of friends going to Flan and i think one left today from the UK.
there's been quite a bit of miscommunication and lying going on from what i can gather. Fillion's people said the con people called them and told them it was cancelled, but last night one of the (dis)organizers posted saying Fillion had cancelled and then later deleted the thread.
this is why i don't do cons. you don't know who you're giving your money too. i never had any worries with the PBPs or the parties Allyson, Maya and Kristen held. BE are a bunch of asswipes and it should be possible for all of those con-goers to take them to the bank with this.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

They were pulling shit with the VM-related one, too, cancelling Francis at the last minute due to "lack of funds" or something like that. I hear the people who went had a really good time, but...this, here, is pretty awful. I have confidence that the fans will organize something, though, and that people will have a good time anyway.
How much were tickets to this thing?

Damn. We were gonna do a Firefly party, and a VM party at some point, but then, there were these people, and they ate everything up.
We could never guarantee guests, I was uncomfortable paying them to show up to a charity thing, and well, yeah so EMA is dead.
