I agree with BigW. I didn't go to the party but we went yesterday (Sunday.) We've been to several Collectormanias, and this was definately the worst. All the friends that I met up with said the same.
If we hadn't booked the Buffy talk tickets when we thought Amanda and Miranda were coming, we wouldn't have gone at all, but it was too much money, so...
I know it isnt Showmasters fault Ms Tapping and Ms Otto cancelled, but it was still the worst Collectormania so far. We won't be coming again unless there is a huge star we want to see, e.g. Michael Welch, Jewel Staite or Amanda Tapping.
It's sooo busy. It's a perfect location because of the facilities, but its also an awful location because you get the shoppers who dont want to buy autographs but are content to block the place up and stand and stare at the actors.
I have to say I was disappointed with Nick who I'd been a fan of for years. When I went up he was happy to chat to the guy sitting beside him and totally ignore us for a couple of minutes. Although I did warm up to him a little, during the talk.
As for the person talking about Billy and Nick, I didn't meet Billy at CM but I have met him before and he's absolutely lovely! Maybe he had personal stuff going on and thats why he was on his moby?
Most of that isnt the organisers fault, but it was definately not as well organised as the previous events.
