Putting a stake in the heart of Twicon
Twicon disabled their Ning site earlier, and I guess that ends the sorrid drama of this con's dissolution. I've pretty much knew from the beginning it was a convention going the wrong direction. The admission was too steep, the location far too expensive, the organizers were clueless, and apparently they treated their volunteers like dirt, which in turn got transfered to the attendees. It was a bad show and no one was going to waste that much money on these guys again.
So now all that's left is for everyone to file their grievances with either the con's lawyer or their banks, and wait for whatever money gets returned. For my part, I need to upload all the screencaps I have of Becky's apology thread and reorganize my fandom wank post. I've also gone back and tagged all of my Twicon posts with the names of all of the partners, just to make sure they stay associated with this fiasco.
Oh well Twicon, you've been a source of hours of entertainment for me, if not for the people who paid money to go to your con.
