Tamara, are you still around? If I can get a screen and some space for people to sit there, there's a guy, who wrote a thing, and there's other stuff.
Mal: You are very much lacking in imagination. Zoe: I imagine that's so, sir.

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

- not in any way implying that Allyson's heart is 3 sizes too small. If anything, it's just the opposite.

Ain't me, man. I'm just hoping we can get the setup.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
P-C, I think I read somewhere that they were $75.00.
Try $250 to $750

Allyson, I just emailed James and Lynn who basically run the SoCal Browncoats group. I gave them your aol and david fury.net emails and told them to contact you asap.
If you haven't heard from them tomorrow, email me and I will call James and set you guys up.
I am planning to go to the hotel Saturday night and buy a round for all Browncoats. That is the least I can do, when what I really want to do is hurt some people.
ETA: Nevermind. I just talked to James and he said that you two have already talked. I'm going to have wine now.

Yeah, that sounds more like what these people charge.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
libkitty - 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.
Thanks libkitty. I'm curious more than anything. I'm not a big RPG player (some minor experience in college with a a$$hole player who smited me cuz he could, rather than help me learn the game... story for another time). anyhow, was curious when I saw it in Amazon, and wondered if it was any good.
Sidebar - any folks in SoCal area, wouldn't mind trying some RPG again.

What is even happening?

I must have had a bout of hysterical blindness on the zero.

What a love.

More love.
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.I hope Simon saved a copy of the page, somewhere, because this is an issue of fraud at this point, not that fans will ever be able to collect from Booster Events, itself.
I hope most people paid with credit cards.
The thing that REALLY pisses me off is that two weeks ago, it was clear there were massive problems. Yet they promised the event was back on. Two weeks ago there were backup plans being put in place. Right now, the hotel won't even give James etc the space (they're waiting on legal clearance).
That's what burned me, when I was reading through what I could find. The fans already worked out an alternate plan, and then canceled it, because BE said it was back on.
Basically, BE gave people about a few hours notice of the cancellation in the end. I'm sure other things will happen, but not as planned as before.
I hope the contingency plans end up being wonderful beyond the fans' dreams. Looking at the narrative from a distance, it is a very Firefly moment, with a slice of Buffy birthday cake.
They basically really fucked about with people. I'm slightly worried about the amount of money we're talking about here, also - it's well into 6 figures worth of ticket sales for the event, and there's things like creditors (they openly said they got loans for the event), lifetime ticket holders ($5000 each!) etc.
If they got loans, the fans shouldn't count on getting a penny back, directly. The creditors will get any money that's left, first. The poor fans who paid for lifetime tickets. Talk about a fool and his money. Gah. I can't stand that someone did this to a group of fans. Knowing the organizers are also fans makes it unbelievably worse.
I'm not even going to Flan. But I'm still with Allyson on this one. If I'd been going, seriously, I'd be going nuts I think.
Oh, yeah. I'm going nuts sitting here, with my money in my pocket.
What I don't understand is the fact that they have run events that have come off, in the past, so it's not like they don't know what goes into it. It's not like they don't have the ability to get it done.
What happened to the bloody money?
