John Barrowman Will Not Be At SDCC

For the record, the webmeister at johnbarrowman.net is a lovely, polite and responsible chap. In other words, I got a reply to my email of the other day asking about the schedule conflict that's apparent on the SDCC website, versus johnbarrowman.net.

John Barrowman will not be at SDCC.

Unsurprisingly, the webmeister said that if there's a conflict between Barrowman's site and anything else, go by what Barrowman's site says. Said webmeister also cheerfully encouraged my writing a tart email to SDCC about same.

I resisted the temptation to go completely bonkers on said SDCC staff but, yes, a tart email has been issued.

Thank god I didn't book plane tickets. So I'm out $25 for the one-day badge, no biggie. If circumstances were different, I'd cheerfully go, regardless - as the rest of the panel is a jolly good draw, too - but circumstances being what they are (as those of you on the F-List of my regular journal know), it's not enough.

Here's hoping something fab happens for Gallifrey. That would suit me down to the ground. :)

This doesn't appear to be the only scheduling goof they've made, either. I've worked cons long enough to know that there will ultimately be things scheduled opposite one another that will have a similar target audience, but it seems to me they could have avoided a 15-minute overlap between Summer Glau's panel and Joss Whedon's.

Gonna be an interesting weekend, methinks....
