Does anyone know when and where the next convention is? Thanks!
After the fiasco in LA, I strongly doubt it.
What did happen anyway?

I heard the Bionicruise was postponed indefinitely.
Wasnt there like a huge money issue there?
Deposits or something not returned?

Basically, the promoter lied about Lee's availability. Lee's greed didn't help matters, either. Needless to say, many fans would not have made the trip had they known that Lee would be MIA.
How was Lee being greedy? Didn't Faith Majors post a message that Lee never confirmed to appear and that he was busy filming some movie for the Cartoon Network during the events BIO CON 2 ?
I'll admit that I don't know the whole story except for the fact that the promotor was a dogface liar that scammed alot of fans?
Faith's missive was pure spin/damage control. Unlike Lindsay, Lee's all about getting paid. The promoter auctioned off "Dinner with Lee" tickets on Ebay, but Lee told him ahead of time that unless it hit a certain dollar amount, he wasn't going to show up. Sure enough, the auction didn't do too well, and Lee stayed home. Of course, the promoter is also to blame, because he kept this crucial info hidden from the Ebay bidders and convention attendees--who were under the impression that Lee was signed, sealed and delivered. Lee's money demands + the promoter's false promises = fiasco.
I did not think Lee Majors was that greedy and I don't think the promoter is to blame for that, for my part, I went to Bionicon 2 and it was no fiasco, I had a wonderful time, meeting Richard, he was really charming !
