Wasn't going to bother replying to this because I don't post much and have only just actually registered despite coming on here for a while.
But that is just ridiculous!!
I recently attended a convention organized by someone else and we didn't know until most people had actually got to the venue that a certain extremely popular guest couldn't make it! Some people moaned, yes, because that was the only reason they had gone. But the fact is that the organizers had been on the phone well into the night the day before trying to work round some way of him still attending. Said guest was due to start filming another project that actual day so there was no way he could make it, but still the organizers tried their best, as did he, and only announced it at the last minute because there was absolutely no way round it!
I think all you people that moan should just stop and think for a minute just how much hard work the organizers put into these things, and be damn grateful that someone bothers to do it! I know for a fact that the majority of organizers don't make an awful lot of money at all in the end.
Are you sure you didn't mean defiantly???!!
