Ok, so I was supposed to go a con called Pokettokon in East Peoria Illinois on Saturday. It was a small 2 day con run at a college. Super awesome right? No. Today they decided to cancel their con... 4 DAYS BEFORE THEIR CON!!! 4 days. With NO explantion as to WHY they are cancelled at all. None on their website, none on their forums. Plus, they ONLY emailed people who are registered on their forums about the cancelation, so everyone else has no idea it's cancelled at all. Unless they just HAPPEN to check the website... THis is the announcement on their forums...
"I regret to inform you that Pokettokon 2010 has been cancelled.
Expect an official statement from the convention chair to be posted in the coming days.
Please inform those you can."
Um, no, that is YOUR responsibility to inform everyone you cancelled your event, and why can't this statement be posted now? My best guess is that they have to think of something to save face. I wouldn't be so mad if this was cancelled 4 months ago, even 1 month ago... but 4 days before the event? I don't know, this is just unprofessional. What are they going to do about people's hotels? Are they going to refund cancelation fees? I definatly will not be going to Pokettokon next year because of this...
I will update this when more info comes out.
