Anne: straight up...do you want me to set aside my beliefs on how conventions should be run and just say "the hell with it?" What if the con turns out, as I suspect it would, as a disaster and a disappointment? Then what happens to the fans? The fans are not being punished. I'm put in mind of "A Comedy of Terrors," where Vincent Price keeps trying to slip poison into Boris Karloff's soup, saying it's medicine, only to be thwarted by Karloff's daughter, who rips the bottle away...and in response, the addled Boris bemoans the fact that she keeps taking away his medicine. And she gets the rap. What makes this show special, and the reason you like it, amon others, is that it stems from certain principles and idea. Are you now asking that I set aside that which makes the show what it is? Because that would be the result. One learns a lot about a person by whom one sleeps with. jms |
