Warriors Fest 2!

[Tantive7]

Did anyone stick around to see The Thomas Waites Project Last Night?
Was it a Great concert! Does anyone have pictures?

What a disappointment. While it was a little better as far as lines it was not good.

No Mercy
No Lizzie's leader
No Cowboy
no Cropsy

While the Merch was much better there still could have been more. I was able to snag :
A custom Lego set subway car with Rembrandt
Original sketch of a Furies by the JAILBREAK artis
A ORPHANS t-shirt (thanks Tri)
A custom Rembrandt action Figure
4pc trading card set from Brian Kong

Only autographs was:
Guy Stevens and Andy Engel

Was awesome seeing 4NIK8 and meeting COCHESE & TRICENDER from the boards!!

Same here buddy!

Definite highlight - finally meeting Cochese all the way from suburban London

Funny though, based on his posts, i was expecting old Pete Burns:



but it was more young Daniel Day-Lewis:

So half the announced cast has cancelled and the venue has changed multiple times. I've not checked facebook yet, but I'm assuming there's been no official word posted for the majority of cancellations? I feel bad giving this event promotion space.
Sounds like this festival is turning to shit faster than a post drinking session Saturday night curry.

"Half" the cast and "all" the punters!

[Cochese]

A who's who of guests that have appeared and more tellingly, haven't:

No Tom McKitterick until Sunday.
No Craig Baxley or Konrad Sheehan, but Rob Ryder (who was also a FURY, I believe), yes.
No Jerry Hewitt, but Leon Delaney (who was also a PUNK, I believe), Eddie Hatch and Rob Ryder (who was also a PUNK, I believe), yes.
No Lisa Maurer, just Wanda Valez.
No Joel Weiss.
Apache Ramos and Andy Engel, yes, but no Deborah.
Guy Stevens, yes.
Ginny Ortiz, yes.
No Michael GInsburg.
No Bobbie Mannix.

Sound about right, guys?

Sorry I have not posted here,in quite a while..
I am going to check it out later,what should I expect?
Tumbleweed

Who is not going to be there today??? I really want to meet Lisa Maurer
There's a good example right there

I have a cool picture of her I want her to sign
Not this time, buddy

And why is Tom only coming on Sunday??
Not "even" Sunday

Is there any cool Merchandise over there??

Hmmm, nothing special

[Cochese]

"Great" is a little strong!

"Young"?? "Daniel Day-Lewis"?? You're too kind!! It was an absolute honor to finally spend some quality time with such a Warrior guru!! Hope we have opportunity to meet again!!

Ok so the following has happened since the 1st announcement of the event.

1: Both Larry Gordan and Walter Hill cancel.
2: Change in venue to an MC's clubhouse. (The 1st venue was supposed to be ideal for the reunion)
3: James Remar cancels. (Guess he will make more at CHILLER)
4: Venue changes again to Coney Art Walls. (I foresee the same issues as last year which the 1st venue was supposed to alleviate. Long lines. Large un-used spaces etc)
5: One of the events of the 4 days the AMAZING (as the promoter put it) EVENING WITH THE WARRIORS is cancelled because they wanted him to pay for the event.

I know a lot of things come up but I go to a bunch of different CONS in the NY/NJ area and I have never experienced anything like this or any of the antics that the promoter has taken to FACEBOOK to post (yelling at people to buy tickets calling specific people out). He knew the chances he was taking and has to live with them. I have this feeling in my gut that after a low turnout on Friday he will either: cancel the reunion altogether, cancel Sunday and just make it Saturday (making it a mob scene again) or list other people who have to cancel. I was going to set up a booth and sell a specific item but could foresee working with the promoter would be a headache. I hope that nothing else changes. Especially for all the people from out of town.

Which specific item?
