We don't really have much we can update you with this evening other than to say we are pursuing every avenue available to make this work. We know you all are anxious and upset, but we are unable to answer individual emails and calls at this time. We are using all our energy to try to obtain funding. We will update again tomorrow.
I'm a little disappointed in the lack of explanation still. I just wanted to let you all know.

Honestly I am unsurprised there's no explanation. I'm at least a little bit surprised that, as with their original announcement, there's no hint of humility or apology.

The Alliance is behind this. I just know it. Damn purple-bellies!

I just overheard a fellow Browncoat doing her prayers:
Dear Buddha, please bring me a little plastic rocket and BE enough money to throw the convention.
Otherwise, please bring me a nice, handsome, single lawyer willing to draw lots of blood. . .

Thank you Mal4Prez and the browncoat author of this little prayer! It's absolutely perfect!

I'm suprised that they(Booster) would admit financial problems of any kind, especially three days before they decided what to do. It has created panic and unrest that might not be necessary. I would thinnk it would also have a negitive effect on ticket sales to their other Cons. I for one will never do business with them again.
On the flip side, their heads-up has allowed us to make other plans, thanks to the SoCal Browncoats.
The entire Booster business seems to be poorly run. One would think that they would have known they had cash flow problems long before this. I certainly know more about my personal finances then they seem to do about their business.
I was looking forward to Flan and am going no matter what. But with the general air of anger toward and unprofessional behavior of the Booster Gals, I would almost rather the gathering be the huge Browncoat Party that SoCal is planning.

I have no idea what Booster Events was thinking...
but I do hope that they manage to pull their fat out of the fire and get the convention to take place as planned....
if they don't then we know we'll have a great weekend with wonderful Browncoats who have been working hard for the last couple of days to plan activities which will be fun for all of us (I will definitely go no matter what!)
and if they do then we can still show our gratitude to lexigeek and all the vendors who would not consider the possibility of defeat!
Special thanks to Cedric and the Bedlam Bards who are coming to entertain regardless!
I need to again share Cedric's refrain:
Quote:
Take my cash, take my Flan,
Make me sleep out in my van.
I don't care, I'll still play;
Hitch-hike to Burbank all the way!
Thanks and love to all the people who are insuring that no Browncoats are left out in the cold, wandering alone out on the edge (ie in Burbank)
