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...

Ok I will confess, if I had the money, I'd def. be thinking about spending it ... but I would feel "odd". I am sure this will end up getting up in the thousands.

Do you think the actors feel odd during these things? I wonder what actually goes through their heads. I am more interested in knowing that.

I wonder if the actors think... "this will pay for a whole semester of junior's first year in college" ;)

hee hee I hope it's along those lines and not a silent scream in their heads going "OMG!! What the heck did I sign up for?????"

I hope there are some good reports out of this con. Can't wait!

I hope there are reports. One thing I've noticed about the vancouver cons is that vERY few fans bother to write up anything. I figure people just don't want to spend the time :(

Maybe they're thinking...."Whoa..scary fans that just paid a crapload of money to see me....any potential stalkers?"

LOL...That's what I'd be thinking. But, I wouldn't do one of those things unless it went to charity.

If it went to charity, then I would like to think the fan would get the tax break, but cons never let that happen. More's the pity.
