I found your journal because of the huge ado in fandom over your post about JM. While I don't agree with you entirely, I don't agree with him either, and your original post was certainly not disrespectful to him.
I'm commenting here to say it seems like your con experience was a lot different than mine! I mean, I'm SO with you on the suckage of the Friar Tuck but I had some pretty horrible experiences with the people who were running the con. There was total disarry in the lines for the Amber photo shoot and on the second day of James's photo shoot. Ingrid and Aria were pretty much outright bitchy to me on different occasions. The people I found were the most helpful were the volunteers.
I also didn't feel an anti-Spike vibe. Quite the opposite, in fact! At Christopher Golden's Q&A a good twenty minutes were spent with people asking Spike questions. Even as a Spike fan I was ready to bash my head against something if someone didn't change the subject - and STAT.
Anyway, I came away with great respect for all the celebrity guests, more than a little crush on Adam Busch and a certainty that no matter how bad some things are, if you're in the company of good friends it'll still be the best thing ever.
