Hey, just wanted to say thanks for the background/conversation on that bad convention (didn't want to hijack the thread further). They don't seem to be hurting for money so clearly their behavior hasn't cost them, but it's good to know I'm not the only one who won't work with them anymore. (Too many shows out there now to feel like you've got to work with ones you don't trust.)

I guess that may have been their goal all along? I knew there was some sort of money making scheme behind this.

From what I've seen, that's kind of the game plan for a lot of conventions--get so big you can't manage it yourself (since they do tend to start out with just one person or a handful of people running it), prove you can make a profit, get bought out, retire.
