Probably not. Hatch will be there though. Hatch is everywhere.
(Also, I may be laughing at Hatch's ubiquity, but I greatly respect his work ethic. He knows what he needs to do to make a living with his passion and he does it.)

He's just milking the fans for cash, just like many other has-beens. I find it kind of sad, honestly.
Axa-Con? !!??
Oh dear, he slipped up and announced to the whole world that Axanar is a con.
Wow - Given the current litigation status of 'Axanar' as a production, I can't believe his lawyers would be okay with this as if there is ANY sort of paid admission fee for 'Axa-Con' - it would bolster any possible 'financial damage' claims Paramount/CBS would be able to bring to the current lawsuit. (Also gotta love Mr. Peters facebook avatar - 'see, I have kids; how can anyone see me as a con man?...'

kinda like the 501(c)3 situation. How long has he has someone working on it? more than 6 months? How about an update, or specifically, the draft content of it, particularly parts 3, 4, 5 and 10, treating the organizing document's statement of charitable purpose and board structure, the past/present/future charitable activities, the compensation, and the finances?
The thing is, once the specifics of that application are prepared, and especially once they are sent to the IRS, he is locked into a corporate framework that ACTUALLY precludes things like investors, making profit off the facilities, etc. All the waffling about "nonprofit" or "not profitable" would have to end. A variety of supporting actions like filing for state corporate tax exemption also have to be set in motion.
The fact that when pressed he simply says it is "in process" forever sends a pretty strong signal.
more than you already know? hell of a name given the trajectory...
Good to know. I'm amazed he'd have time to screw around on the internet tracking down people who said mean things about him and his little project, when he is so busy setting up a studio, dealing with a lawsuit, furnishing an office, making a movie, and now setting up a convention.
I can't believe he's doing this Axa-con thing. With everything going on right now you'd think he'd want to just lay low and focus his energy on dealing with lawsuit and making sure Axanar is actually going to happen.
It's just more evidence that this wasn't simply a fan film.
He's obeying with the court order (?) not to film anything - but he's still carrying out every other bit of this enterprise. Conventions and donations and fulfillment and building out an office for a professional studio - all the while he's getting a salary. So now he's paying himself NOT TO MAKE A DAMNED MOVIE.
If someone shut down filming STC or any of the other ones, what else would there be left to do? Nothing. They'd all go back to their 9-5 jobs or get other gigs.
Not Peters. He's going to ride this into the fucking ground.

I hope I'm not taking this out of context, but Peters has said, "I have not had one hater message me on Facebook."

I wrote a blog with my thoughts on Peters ages ago. A friend of mine shared the 1701 article - I posted the link to the blog in my thoughts. Alec (not friends with either of us on Facebook - no direct contact) commented out of nowhere.
He then shat it and bailed when he realised I had a dozen questions for him since he decided to pop in for a chat.
It's made me start pondering his mental state right now. People have given me shitty reviews before - it's part of the package. I've never felt the need to do a Jay and Silent Bob spending all my time and energy beating people up for their opinion.
I hope Zavin knocks it on the floor and stomps on it as he heroically wrestles Ares Studios from Peters!
I keep having this mental image of CBS officials literally standing over Alec Peters as they force him to personally rip out the carpet he had installed.
"I have not had one hater [SUCCESSFULLY] message me on Facebook."
If you can't handle the slightest amount of criticism, then certainly you should work in Los Angeles - specifically, making movies for a franchise that's never once been criticized by it's own fans.
