Dominoes falling

[thebitterguy]

Apparently, my question I asked yesterday prompted jefferyab to ask a question related to the topic on the Ad Astra community. The comments get kind of interesting, especially when the chair starts talking about what happened.

A member of the fan community and a regular attendee at conventions within the Toronto environs, contacted the hotel and spoke to every manager and the owner, complaining that Ad Astra was in contravention of provincial law and hotel policy with regards to the service of alcohol at the annual convention. This person has also reported Ad Astra to the liquor control board.

Wow. I guess someone was kind of an a vendetta or something. Just to clear the air, before You Know Who starts pointin' fingers, it wasn't me. I LIKE booze.

Anyway, people justifiably start saying this was awful poopyish (and if you wanna be all John Law about this, fine, take it elsewhere). But it gets real amusing when jarydsyn shows up and starts going all "The con got what was coming to them!"

Wow. I'm not good ad putting two and two together (okay, I am, four! Hah!) but how suspicious is that that some random person with an LJ id where the electrons are still damp shows up to be the voice of dissent?

Admittedly, I haven't been to an AA since I got married (she has, and I love her for that) but it's still annoying that this turned out to be the act of some vindictive shlurr.

I like Ad Astra, though I'm rarely in the con suite. If I am it's to talk, not to drink. I even did panels last year (note to self, go to Ad Astra site and offer to do panels).

Ed and I even won best in show at the masquerade one year.

Didn't you meet the missus at Ad Astra?

[thebitterguy]

Yes I did.

I suspect I'm probably persona non grata there, otherwise I'd offer to do some panels n' stuff.

Never hurts to ask.
