Wizard Big Apple Show in NY October 2009

[Ares]

I guess if they are cancelling all their Talent it must be a cash issue

[Speedy-D]

ALL their talent? What's that mean?

[mrwoogieman]

All of the talent that they (celebrity authentics) booked to appear at this show, I guess. See list.

[Speedy-D]

Shatner wasn't on that list

[carcrawfordfan]

maybe wizard couldn't pay them?

[BaltimoreLauren]

Probably.

 

Oh well, at least Shatner's still going!

[Speedy-D]

Aside from Willem Dafoe, I've never heard of the folks that got canceled.

Aside from Willem Dafoe, I didn't care about the other guests. Some of them were from the Wolverine movie, others from Twilight.

Not to get anyone's hopes up, but it looks like Dafoe is a maybe for the con. His info is back up on their website:

Also, this is a quote from the show coordinator in wizardworld forums

 

I'm being told to keep Willem on the site. My guess is that the others have opted out, but Willem is still negotiating.

 

So keep those fingers and toes crossed!

I really, really hope he goes!!

[Buck Biggins]

Wizard can't get any of their shows organized. This happened in Chicago as well.

I detect a pattern...

[mrwoogieman]

Keeping the Twilight people away might not be a bad thing for crowd control purposes at least.

[TupennyConan]

My chances of going to this show just increased many fold.

 

I'll make a decision by about 5 pm tomorrow.

[Speedy-D]

I'm totally going; I'm totally psyched!

Gonna get me some Mysteries In Space!

[Secret Son]

A few more weeks and it's go time.

[TupennyConan]

I'm confirmed for all 3 days. NYC in October kicks arse.

[Speedy-D]

So far NYC in October is a bit rainy...

That's fine. I'll be going from the show to the restaurant to the bar to the hotel room a few times over with the airport at start & finish.
