Joe Flanigan at Vancouver Creation Con (April)

[wraithfodder]

I really like Joe Flanigan. Really, I do. But. But... $500 (opening bid) for cocktails with him? And this isn't you and him, it's you and other fans, so if one is really obsessive, you've paid $500 to be a doormat...

Starting at $500 and you can put it on a payment plan! But hey, you get *snacks*. The whole ala carte pricing of this con would kill me. I mean the gold ticket is something like $500, then if you want set tours, more, and photo ops, and autographs and well, best wishes to those who can afford this. I only would hope they'd post about it on the web for the rest of us to live vicariously through them...

See once again this year I am going to Vancouver but its for the "Pre-Con" festivities(basically I'm too poor to afford the whole con so I'm going up next Thursday for one night).

I'll bug my friends about doing their Con reports(a couple are going Gold, and some preferred) while I'm there.

I personally wouldn't pay $500+ for dinner with the Flan especially where they use the word 'lubricate' in their emails.

$500! Wow as a starting bid! that is steep!

I was lucky enough to go to both Jason and Joe's Guest Encounters at Chevron and can guarantee that they are both worth chatting to in a smaller environment...Jason is hilarious and Joe is one of the most intelligent, funny and interesting people I have had the pleasure to talk to...but $500 as a starting point - phew! That would have put me out at Chevron if they had done that.

Good luck to whoever gets it, at that price - I really hope they have fun.

Oh I was also thinking for $500, can we have Joe serve the cocktail? *vbg*

would they refund the money if he has to cancel?
for some reason i'm reminded of some con last year (i think it was) where some people paid a bunch of money to have lunch somewhere with come of the cast of sg-1 (michael shanks & his wife?) only to have a surprise sneak peak of the latest sg-1 movie & sandwiches on the bus back. but at least michael & his wife went back on the bus with them.
