I'm going to be very controversial here and will probably get run out of town, but is James becoming too elitist with all the very expensive private events that attract the same minority each time? I'm running for cover now |

I'm running for cover now I think the dinner things are pricey  But I like the UK things where he does an event but then has tickets for gigs ( sometimes with a Q and A thrown in) for £15-£20 |

You're just expressing your opinion, Pluto, in a civil way.
They do seem to do things differently for a largely American audience. Like Deb says, I like the range of events and prices that are generally on offer when he's in the UK.
But if people want to spend their money on things like parties, that's their choice. It would never have been mine, even when I was deeply into JM fandom, but each to their own.

JUST POSTED at www.jamesmarsters.com/MONSTER MANIA PARTY UPDATE
As many of you may have seen, the organizer of Monster Mania has posted a disclaimer regarding the private party that Himber Ent. is organizing on behalf of James for his scheduled weekend there. Until this matter is resolved satisfactorily, we will be holding off on the reservation process. Once matters have been cleared up, we will again give advanced notice for reservations. Sorry for this inconvenience.
I would strongly suggest that anyone making plans to attend Monster Mania solely because of James' scheduled appearance take a beat until we confirm all details.
Again, thank you for your patience and understanding.
Steve HimberOoo err

The whole thing is going completely bonkers - the Con organiser was saying there was no party happening on the forum (rather than taking it up with Steve or JJ Collectibles) and it all degenerated very fast - he then locked the thread and keeps changing his statement about what they offered.
Just sounds like MM run a con in a different way to anyone else (they seem to be all aghast about having to pay for photo ops) so we wait to see what happens..
(By the way, this is me being all calm and rational and fair - Ive been following the whole crazy shebang from the beginning and I could really REALLY go off on one - but it wouldnt help!)

Latest from www.jamesmarsters.com/MM's organiser sounds like a complete dick , constantly backtracking and trying to cover his own arse  Bad move making Himber Ent look bad and suggesting that they are greedy for wanting to offer an exclusive event off-site and mewling that he wants to give fans the opportunity to see all the guests for a bargain price ..whilst completely failing to mention their own exclusive VIP tickets to a dessert party and front row seats for all their talks at $199 a pop |

I am going as part of the James Family (dysfunctional though it might be at times...!) - gotta support the family! *sings* we are fam-i-lee...I got all my sisters (and Salchi!) with meeee... |
