Booster Bash has three celebrities--I think you should get that one.
So is there some sort of scale to determine when I'll feel I've earned $300 of entertainment from each celebrity?
I should start planning out what to wear...
Damn you, Bridget! Damn you to Hades! You broke my heart in a million pieces! You made me love you, and then you-- I SHAVED MY BEARD FOR YOU, DEVIL WOMAN!

"Would you mind not farting while I'm saving the world?" - Doctor Who
Good to hear the weekend turned out well despite BE's screw up. Cheers for the Big Damn Heroes and the Big Damn Fans that all pitched in to pull it off.
This is why I fell in love with the series... and bought a "loaner" copy of the DVDs... and saw the movie a ridiculous number of times... and bought all the merchandise... and hang out on boards like this...

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
I'm going to fucking explode over than Booster website. Seriously.
On Friday, when the shit was really hitting the fan, Vicki posted a very public resignation letter. Saying her lawyers were resigning her from the company. All manner of shit went on, and now that the weekend has been a success beyond wildest wet dreams, they've come back online -- with Vicki back.
I'm So. Pissed. Off.

What is even happening?
Now, see, that post would be deleted, Hec.Oh, now see that wants to be COMMed, but it actually is not funny without the context, and posting the context makes it too long, and I don't want to COMM Be Excrement's words, anyhow.
Allyson's offerin' to buy me a ticket for Christmas to one of Booster's events next year now that the site's back up. Which one should I choose? The $869 Neptune Noir pass, or the $859 Booster Bash 2 pass?
Monique, why choose? Allyson is an author. All authors are rich.
I'm going to fucking explode over than Booster website. Seriously.Oh, yeah. And, um...INCONVENIENCE?
They're...I can't really think of a word bad enough right now, but that's what they are.

Actually, I'm delighted to report that another friend stepped up and offered to buy me a LIFETIME BOOSTER PASS! Yes, that's right, for just $5,000 of someone else's money, I'll be able to party with the stars for the rest of my LIFE!
I promise to post photos after every future Booster event.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I promise to post photos after every future Booster event.
One could still do it. If you are including court appearances....lynchings...

Saw this on Livejournal, considered making it my tag;

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hmm. I had the BE forum page open in another tab, and now it's a big old Server Error in '/' application and I can't get to their front page either.

Yeah. Y'know, they may not be able to talk about Flan refunds yet. Or lifetime pass refunds, or Neptune Noir refunds, or Booster Bash 2 refunds. Maybe they don't realize they need to consider refunds for the latter three.
But you'd think they'd realize their site's ... got issues. Let's just put it that way.

Boosters website has never been able to handle more than 5 visitors at once. And I wish I was being snarky there: I'm not. It's the worst website I've ever seen in terms of reliability.
Here's why I'm pissed off with Boosters: On Tuesday last week, they added somebody else to their business files and tried to obtain more credit (loans). Now, to be clear, they didn't have the money to run Flan initially, they said they obtained financing, and then right up until the last minute they've openly admitted they were apply and getting MORE loans.
Here's the thing: say they start refunding Flan holders. Great. Then there's all the other people... I can't see them ever putting on another convention with fandom people. So, how do they refund the other people when they couldn't afford to run Flan, let alone all the people who've got Booster Bash tickets, Neptune Noir, Life Time passes in advance?
They can't. But they've just got loans. So if they fold, the creditors (loan people) get first dibs on any remaining assets. And then any money left will go to the actual fans.
Or, put simply: I'm pretty certain Booster are going to bite the dust, and there's going to be fuck all left for anybody involved.
