Personally, I think Creation Entertainment sucks more than I can possibly tell you and I never, ever want to go to one of their conventions ever again. Ever. However, if they're going to book a con with Jared Padalecki as a guest and hold it 10 minutes from my apartment, what's a girl to do?

I know he'll probably cancel. He canceled the last Chicago horror con, and Joe Flanigan canceled the Chicago Stargate con before that (Creation gets a lot of guest cancellations), so I refuse to buy tickets in advance. With the con only 10 minutes away, I'll take my chances and wait until he's absolutely confirmed before I show up.

Well, attend as a day attendee, that way, if Jared shows, you pay for the con, otherwise, you're not out the money or time.

That's what I did with Fangoria. He wound up canceling 3 days before the con, so I wasn't out anything. I'm not into the autographs and picture taking, so I don't need to buy tickets in advance. Still, it's a Creation con and I'm reluctant to give them any more of my money. I've been going to conventions for 22 years, and the one Creation con I attended was the worst con I've ever been to, no contest.

Yeah, I don't blame you about Creation. Some people think they're great but I've done cons for decades and Creation is all about assembly lines and making money. It's not a true convention experience, which is why if I do any of their cons, I make sure I'm with friends so I can do fun stuff while the con bogs down..
