According to his reply to my queery on that he went for a couple of the guests... the same guests that were part of a line up he's repeatedly decried as sub par throughout this thread (though as we've seen from a few posts up, Mr Bear thinks Christopher Lloyd shouldn't have been there, so what constitutes a significant guest for him may differ from that of many folk).
Fair enough if you go to a con for specific reasons despite reservations, but this thread has basically been made unreadable by him hijacking it for his hatred of the organisers and repeatedly telling people what an awful crooked event it would be/was and that they shouldn't go. But he went anyway! And did his little bit to help ensure that the folk organising this that he despises get the chance to do more (because it's nothing to do with brown envelopes really, these things will be a goer as long as people turn up and pay up).
It absolutely was not a perfect event by any means. But it certainly wasn't as bad as Bear tried to make us think beforehand. Because there was no way it could be really.
