The show was okay, the pictures and prices were awful - So I hope the fans weren't too disappointed. Re. Cards Inc. - Freelance folks get very tired of chasing payment for their work and appearances. We're actually quite easy to please, and getting paid on time is just basic politeness. Tim Dry posted:Star Wars UK actors such as Barrie Holland, Lightning Bear, Tim Dry, Toby Philpott,Sean Crawford etc.still HAVE NOT BEEN PAID by Cards. Inc (the organisers of CE)This is disgraceful. Especially as the quality of the pictures that they provided for us to autograph was terrible. And the prices charged were nothing to do with us! Bogus Magus? posted: I can only agree with Tim about the organisation. Of course, fans made the best of it, and we (the Jabba crew) managed to squeeze a little fun out of the event, but essentially it was a shambles and an embarrassment compared to (say) Celebration 3 in Indiananapolis which had space, comfort, all sorts of interesting events and displays, etc. 'Disappointed' would be the weakest word I would use, and yes, although we 'minor league' players didn't make much anyway (trying to sell over-priced and low quality items) it would be nice to actually get paid according to the terms of the contract.
