Saffron: But we've been wed. Aren't we to become one flesh? Mal: Well, no, uh... We're still two fleshes here, and I think that your flesh ought to sleep somewhere else.

What is even happening?
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]

The thing about life is :You can rehearse it all you want,
But nobody else ever sticks to the script. So why bother?
As far as I know from the bronzers helygen and Leish ( Who has flown in from Australia!) are in LA right now. Allyson if you happen to get the chance to punch them, punch them for me, too. Also I second tiggy´s sigh. Too bad we can´t resurrect them. Though I read somewhere that the were plans for a 10th anniversary PBP ... what happend with that?

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs
I got the book, omnis, but I don't have RPG experience and it's taking me a while to get together folks who do and are interested and have time. A friend looked it over, and thought that the character info was good but it lacked something or other that I don't remember. I can ask for his comments again if you're interested, but I imagine you'll get better answers from others here.

Adam Baldwin just showed up in Burbank, anyhow. I kind of love him all over again.
Allyson, if you need an afterword for your book, this sucker is it.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
What happened in a shorter version: a week or two ago they claimed they had no cash to run the event. Then they decided they had secured funding and put the event back on. Of course, the event was sold out in advance, so how did they not have the cash?
Their previous con had been cancelled. The con before that had 35 vistors. Paying customers. The one before that had 75 customers. And something like 20 guests. Spot the problem. Some of them were heavy hitters who everybody knows demand a lot to appear. In other words, they were very expensive conventions with very limited selling of tickets.
Anyway, yesterday they posted saying it was cancelled. I checked with Nathan's manager and Booster called them at this point and cancelled. Then they deleted the topic and advised it was back on. Two of the organisers (And business owners) then resigned. (Sinking! Ship! Help!). "Dave" (a paper hanger by trade - no really) then took over, and started driving from Oregon to the venue, and reassured everybody who was already at the hotel the event was still on and all the guests still booked. They even got a post on Whedonesque saying this. Simon from Whedonesque removed the item (thank you, Simon!). It was bullshit - I know for a fact the guests were still cancelled. I do not understand why they kept saying the event was still on.
Then they deleted their website and put up that message up.
They are not discussing refunds. I doubt they can afford to do them.
Also, Adam Baldwin showed up at the hotel anyway. He's in the lobby now.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Yeah, me too. Somebody buy him a thing.

The last thing Adam went to which was cocked up (organised by Universal - humour pause here), he ended up going to the bar with fans. He's a properly nice guy.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Man, that's all completely nuts. I can't imagine how much that would suck. Yay for AB. Whadda guy.
