Thanks so much for posting this - I'd read so many polite references to things that had happened that I'd wondered what the truth was.
I'm completely shocked at Toyboat being threatened with no PA - what the ...?
I also just went to read the "message" from the next ConChair, and was frankly appalled by his lack of professionalism - naming and blaming people who have no way of defending themselves? Disgusting behaviour. And as for the comment about seeing the con as more than a vehicle for filk - well surely that's the whole *point* of being a stream head? You are responsible for doing the best job for your stream as possible!
I can only imagine that they've hurt themselves in this way - anyone with even a passing acquaintance with Jan knows her to be unfailingly honest, pleasant and straightforward in her dealings, and thankfully people listening to shitty sound generally know that it's shitty sound, not shitty performance.
Bring Toyboat to England! We have equipment and friendly sound engineers! We'll be nice to you...
