I have confidence that the fans will organize something, though, and that people will have a good time anyway.
the thing is, the So-Cal Browncoats did have a backup bash planned the first time BE was threatening to cancel. when BE announced that Flan was back on, they cancelled.
The back up bash is back on. The SoCal browncoat group will do the best they can.
And Allyson, if you had a VM and Firefly party I would go. I never had any intention of giving these BE bitches my money.
The back up bash is back on.
that's good news, at least.
It looks like, back in October they canceled another event they call a "Nano Event" that was supposed to be for either the weekend before or the weekend after this Flanvention. They were going to book Gina Torres for it. They only sold 35 tickets, and so didn't have enough, but they didn't cop to the problem 'til they were ready to cancel, and fans from the UK had booked flights over for that, too. ** [link] ** It looks like some of them were waiting for Flanvention tickets, and switching their flights.
judging by their website, it looks they cancelled the Backup thing after being told the Con would definitely be on. Ugh.
You can see them cancel it at Whedonesque, too.

Oh, thank goodness. Those poor fans.
so EMA is dead
Has it died twice?
Hey, how is Maya, anyhow? Is she on LJ or anything?
How much were tickets to this thing?
P-C, I think I read somewhere that they were $75.00. But it's the travel and hotels that kill people.
I have a couple of friends going to Flan and i think one left today from the UK.
Were they Bronzers, tiggy?
**edited because I had the wrong link in, before.

Here's a web archive of the Booster board, as it all went to hell, this afternoon. It seems to be fans talking. Gah. I want to punch these Booster people now, too. [link]
