I am so furiously, disgustingly angry on behalf of alot of people right now.
Im a Browncoat.
This weekend, up until a few hours ago, a MAJOR convention had been planned. Over 500 people had bought tickets, made hotel reservations, and bought plane tickets.
Several Firefly/Serenity actors were going to attend. This was a VERY BIG DEAL. Some people spent upwards of $1000 getting there, not including food and drinks.
A few hours ago? The company in charge posted this:
"Booster Entertainment apologizes for the great inconvenience, but due to unforeseen circumstances, Flanvention is cancelled. An official notice will be posted within 10 days."
THE ENTIRE WEBSITE HAS BEEN REMOVED EXCEPT FOR THAT NOTICE.
Less than a day before the con started, the whole thing was cancelled.
I have a very good friend who was SO EXCITED to go. She was packing.
I dont even know if she knows. I dont know if she got on the plane knowing..or if she didnt find out until she got to the hotel.
Im so mad and disappointed on her behalf. She bought her tickets months ago, and recently, due to a whole mess with her living situation, had questioned whether she should even go, because the $400 she spent would really come in handy.
In some good news, even though the con was cancelled, some of the actors showed up anyway.
Adam Baldwin, Nathan Fillion. You guys have class.
