CONVENTION CANCELLATION: Galacticon 4 2015

@theaarondouglas @Galacticon4 from a social media presence it appears so

Aaron Douglas (@theaarondouglas) July 28, 2015
I’m getting emails pointing otherwise. We’ll see.

To everyone attending Galacticon4. I’ve just been informed that my appearance has been canceled. I’m sorry I won’t see you all in Seattle.

@theaarondouglas informed? What’s going on? We’re just getting on the plane

Aaron Douglas (@theaarondouglas) July 28, 2015
@Jediriccan “informed” is absolutely the correct terminology. The guest list is wildly inaccurate.

 


 

Aaron Douglas (@theaarondouglas) July 28, 2015
Dear @Galacticon4 Being that you just cancelled me for the con this weekend I’d appreciate you removing my name & photo from your site.

Aaron Douglas (@theaarondouglas) July 28, 2015
Yeah, it’s going to be less of a Battlestar con and more of a whoever else is left after the cancellations. Just know: we all wanted to go.

Not for me to announce but I count at least 8 incorrect names on the guest list on the website.

@theaarondouglas is this something we can share on our Twitter? Our readers may need to know…

Aaron Douglas (@theaarondouglas) July 28, 2015
@AtStakeMagazine I don’t see why not, agents are posting. As of now all of the new BSG cast, except 2, have been cancelled.

At Stake Magazine (@AtStakeMagazine) July 28, 2015
@theaarondouglas wow, okay. I’ll post. Thanks and sorry that’s all happened :(

Aaron Douglas (@theaarondouglas) July 28, 2015
@AtStakeMagazine Thank you. Not as sorry as we as a cast are for all the fans we’re not going to get to meet in a few days.

At Stake Magazine (@AtStakeMagazine) July 28, 2015
@theaarondouglas for sure. What a shame :(

 


 

Aaron Douglas (@theaarondouglas) July 28, 2015
I’m sorry but how does gassing the guests from the namesake show of your con maintain its integrity?

 


 

Janet Osburn (@MadamPres1dent) July 28, 2015
@theaarondouglas @TahmohPenikett Help us, the fans! Do G4 for the fans. PLEASE do this for us. #FixGalacticon4

Aaron Douglas (@theaarondouglas) July 28, 2015
We did not cancel ourselves. None of us did. We were all excited to go, see all of you & each other.

 


 

Dee (@deezy_marie) July 28, 2015
@theaarondouglas @MadamPres1dent @TahmohPenikett their excuse is that they lost a block of hotel rooms and didn’t have a place for actors

Aaron Douglas (@theaarondouglas) July 28, 2015
Completely false. There are rooms available, they’re simply unwilling to pay for them for new cast.

Dee (@deezy_marie) July 28, 2015
@theaarondouglas @MadamPres1dent @TahmohPenikett I figured that much. What a crock!!

 


 

Aaron Douglas (@theaarondouglas) July 28, 2015
Apparently my Facebook fan page has some really good responses to what I’ve been tweeted. Some solid insider stuff. Lookin at you Joe. ;-)

Aaron Douglas (@theaarondouglas) July 28, 2015
We were all willing to “stay the course”. We were uninvited. Enough with the bullshit.

 


 

Aaron Douglas (@theaarondouglas) July 28, 2015
I don’t think you understand “uninvited”. would you go somewhere you’re not wanted?
https://twitter.com/jeremyrclifford/status/626232012794232832

 


 

Aaron Douglas (@theaarondouglas) July 28, 2015
Not even close. We were uninvited today in 2’s and 3’s. None of us cancelled.

Aaron Douglas (@theaarondouglas) July 29, 2015
I’m sorry you feel that I’ve made myself look bad. I was attempting to give fans like yourself a heads up/truth

 


 

Aaron Douglas (@theaarondouglas) July 29, 2015
So the con re-invited me today. I said sure if they invite the rest of cancelled BSG. They said no. Pub crawl it is! See you all Friday.

Aaron Douglas (@theaarondouglas) July 29, 2015
Wow, you think they would’ve learned… I look at the guest list & there are 3 names on there that are not attending. Just brutal.

UPDATE: Letter from Aaron posted on the Geek Media Expo website ….

We at GMX thank Aaron for his sincerity and generosity in sending the fans this heart-felt message. We wish him luck in his new show and hope so see him again soon.

A LETTER FROM MR. DOUGLAS…

“I am so profoundly sorry that I cannot attend the GMX con this weekend in Nashville. The promoters of the event have been so patient and supportive and I feel awful that I cannot make it for them and for all of you.

I am also sorry that it is so last minute. As many of you know I am on a new show called ‘Hellcats’ and unfortunately the schedule just came out and I work Friday and Monday. There is no way I can make it to Nashville and back to Vancouver and not have more that a couple of hours to spend with ya’ll.

I LOVE Nashville, I have many friends who live there and they are just as disappointed as I am that I cannot get away.

I do plan on heading there and seeing my friends when I have a break and I promise you that I will set up at a pub somewhere, bring a bunch of sharpies, announce it at least a day before and sit and have a pint with whoever shows up and sign all of your stuff.

Again, I am so sorry.

I love you all.

See you soon.”

Aaron Douglas to the fans at GMX

Below is a copy and paste of Aaron’s message …..

I cancelled wrath. I have to work, as does tahmoh. We agreed to wrath before there was a strike & we thought there would be no problem as the show would be done in March. we are in the last days of shooting & they are not officially clearing anyone for anything. I would have loved to go & my apologies to all the fans who were hoping to see me on the weekend.

CONVENTION CANCELLATION: Chiller Theatre Expo 2007

The following convention that Aaron was scheduled to appear at has been cancelled.

Chiller Theatre Expo
January 26th – 28th, 2007
Seacaucus, New Jersey. USA

Dear Chiller Theatre Fans, Guests, Vendors and Friends.
Chiller Theatre thanks you for your years of loyalty and patronage.

For the Past 15 Years, we at Chiller Theatre have prided ourselves in having put forth the very best in Horror and Sci-Fi Film Convention Entertainment. Originally, Chiller Theatre had planned to hold what would have been our fourth consecutive January Winter Weekend Horror Convention, during the last weekend of January, 2007, at the Crowne Plaza Meadowlands Hotel.

However, irreconcilable differences have arisen between Chiller Theatre and the Crowne Plaza Hotel. In light of those differences, regrettably:

There will be no Chiller Theatre Show this coming January of 2007.
While we do not wish to subject our public to all of the gory details, succinctly put, in order for Chiller Theatre to have hosted a Show this coming January of 2007, it would have been necessary for Chiller Theatre to at least double the price of show tickets, and, to dramatically increase the price of vendors’ tables in order to satisfy all of the financial demands, and other obligations, that the Crowne Plaza Hotel sought to impose upon Chiller Theatre, as a condition of agreeing to host the show this coming January of 2007.

It would be unthinkable for Chiller Theatre to pass these added costs on to our fans, friends, vendors and guests. We would rather let the Crowne Plaza cancel the show, (which it has), than to submit to their demands.

But fear not.

Any and all tickets that were purchased for the January 2007 Chiller Theatre Show will be honored at the upcoming April 2007 Chiller Theatre Show. Details on the April Chiller Theatre Show will be provided in the near future.

Finally, we sincerely urge anyone that has made room reservations with the Crowne Plaza Hotel for the now defunct January Chiller Theatre Show, to immediately call the Crowne Plaza at (201) 348-6900 in order to cancel those reservations as soon as possible, so that they do not get charged. When you do call, be sure to get the name of the person that you spoke to, as well as any cancellation confirmation number.

Thank you for your attention and consideration. We at Chiller Theatre value your continued patronage and loyalty, and we wish you all a very happy and healthy new year . . . Whatever you are!!!!

Sincerely,
Kevin Clement,
& the Chiller Theatre Staff
December 30, 2006
