Sure, they need to get a large enough place to hold all that spaghetti leaking for the the day or two, so they need to charge a fee. Problem is, they all want people that work on the show to go.<br /><br />Shock horror! They have to pay for these people to attend. They have to cover travel, accomodation and whatever fee their agents charge. Suddenly, they need thousands of people to attend to break even and we've got another shitty con trying to do something it can't.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-972990476219054386.post-74991418406579182532014-05-28T14:27:09.633-05:002014-05-28T14:27:09.633-05:00As someone working, and have worked for, several c...As someone working, and have worked for, several cons, I can vouch that some cons have this kind of environment and others don't. Those that don't have a considerable age and experience advantage over the others, from my perspective. It's all about starting the ride with a group of people you know and work well with as the core of the convention, and then expand from there. Too many of these upstart conventions are thrown together way too fast, with random people and with little to no experience with how to actually pull it off. <br /><br />We don't need 40+ conventions every damn year. (Actually, I do enjoy the lukewarm pasta coming out of some of them)<br /><br />/rantAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-972990476219054386.post-32277562870765098322014-05-28T03:03:10.848-05:002014-05-28T03:03:10.848-05:00I know this from our convention

Regardless of how at-each-others-throats they are, so long as they have the sense to act professional publicly and put on a good con, it doesn't matter.<br /><br />unfortunately it seems many of them are not capable or willing of being even slightly professional.

I've left a person in one of the areas to make sure that the chairs etc were set out ready for the next event in about 30 minutes. I return later about 5 min till event starts, the guy I left had wandered off and the guy hosting the event is desperately trying to rearrange a room by himself with no help.<br /><br />Another time, I've seen a gopher try to stop a con head from entering backstage at their own con. <br /><br />The only reason I still work for a con is because I'm one of the few people that can actually does their job well enough that the con can actually happen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-972990476219054386.post-5018570510516953492014-05-27T18:31:36.524-05:002014-05-27T18:31:36.524-05:00Ugh- this is hard to read; all the punctuation, gr...Ugh- this is hard to read; all the punctuation, grammar, and spelling errors...
