Message from Shane Concerning JumpCon BostonSubmitted by admin on Tue, 07/15/2008 - 13:36 |
I regret to announce the cancellation of our Boston event. Many factors that needed to come together
to make it happen simply did not. We tried everything humanly possible and
were unable to overcome the insurmountable obstacles. This is not to say
that I don't take the blame myself, I do. I wanted to see this succeed so
badly that I was blinded to some warning signs that should have been
obvious. If I have learned anything through this process it's that running a
convention business is far more intricate and fraught with peril than it
seemed at the outset. I fully apologize to all the fans who've been
inconvenienced by this late announcement and assure them that we're in the
process of getting you all refunds. I know there are airfare and other
considerations for which you will be liable and for that I am truly sorry.
I wanted to let you know today rather than keep trying to pull this off and
end up like FedCon USA where the fans were already in attendance. Please
accept my humble apology, but I'll understand if you can't.
To all the consultants and industry experts that were brought in to help; I
thank them and hold them blameless as they advised me and tried to do what
they could to help. They should not be held accountable for my actions, they
should be lauded for what they did try to accomplish based on what they had
to work with.
To all of the media guests that were to appear at our events; I want to say
- I am sorry that this has happened and has put some of you into your own
troubles by declining work, saying no to other conventions, and other
issues. My intentions were honorable and I expected to be able to salvage
things but at this point it seems I cannot.
Sincerely,
Shane Senter

Well I survived my first Friday night without BSG. Still watched sci-fi ...Dr. Who, but it isn't the same. I can't wait for 2009 to get here already. But then when it does it will all be over in 10 short weeks. 10 episodes is all we hav left to look forward to. I only hope that the BSG movie speculations come to pass and that the stories include a significant amount of Laura Roslin. I have loved the last few episodes especially the Hub. I loved her visions with Elosha. I hope we have some more of that and that Laura does find out about the opera house and that we some more development of Laura and Bill relationship. I so agreed with Bill when he said, "about time." I love how they talk to one another. Like when she came to help Lee get Adama back into his uniform after Sal's devistating news. "What don't you know?" and the gentle touch. The writing is superb but the delivery gives it that extra something. Had these characters been played by 2 different actors I don't know if we would have the proper chemistry. These 2 just sizzle...since day one in my humble opinion. Luckily I have the series on DVD and on DVR so I can fill the BSG void by watching all the episodes again (all except the Woman King I think). I read somewhere that some blogger thinks BSG has jumped the shark...I think this yahoo needs his head examined. BSG is not perfect but it is aweful damn close. Anyhoo hang tough BSGers we'll make it through til 2009 at least that is what I keep telling myself. :)
