The Fest has moved its gathering from a hotel because it could not get affordable rates for attendees however that situation happened before and not after tickets had been sold/the event advertised. Yuck, what nasty business! Thanks for sharing.

FYI The Chillertheatre convention scheduled for January, 2007 in New Jersey has been cancelled due to some interesting reasons. Glad we don't have those type of issues.
