Oh. Dear.

When Torchsong Chicago was first announced, I honestly thought pretty hard about finding the dosh for going. But I already one have one Chicago convention and financies have, in my house, collapsed even further so it became a moot point.

I hate to say it, but I'm kinda relieved that I didn't go the trouble. The con is not cheap and hearing that the GOH - John Barrowman - can't make it over there in person breaks my heart for the folks who have paid through the nose to attend.

Yes, I know he's going to teleconference in, and the other guests will still be appearing, but Barrowman was definitely the star attraction.

Ah well, maybe next year.

I just hope the con-chair had some sort of event insurance...

Oh no, he didn't?

Christ, that con's going to be gloomy...

Second item in the Latest News sidebar on his website - for the ever-nebulous "personal reasons."

I'm rather glad I'm two time-zones away, y'know?

As I just posted, if there's NOT a riot at the reg desk, I'll be surprised...
