well for anyone interested in knowing how it went.....it in fact went nowhere Last minute cancellation of tom and austin. I in no way am angry but I am naturally disappointed. For the parties directly involved in this (Tom, Austin and the convention organizers) tried to make it happen but due to a change in their filming schedule for the week it was unavoidable. I did not find out until I arrived at the venue that is just how last minute it was. I did speak with the event organizer's wife and she said that they were up until the very late hours talking with both their management teams in trying to resolve the issue. Their contract states that they are to be in Georgia, ready to film "x" numbers prior to their scheduled filming time. With their filming schedule being bumped up there was not any way that they could attend the con and still be in good standing within the terms of the contract. While I may not be happy about I do understand that first and foremost they as actors have an obligation that surpasses convention appearances. from the organizers facebook page: PepperAnn Thales Targaryen jackson04 gregsgirl JAMA apollonia @zmom wickedjenИ NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

You may not be mad... BUT I AM!!!!!!!!! Stupid AMC!!!!!!!! Did you have a fun trip with your daughter at least? Let's hope you'll be able to meet Tom in a future con. Thank you for the sentiment hon. I just refuse to allow myself to get angry over something that was out of the control of the actors and the convention organizers and to an extent AMC. I understand why they have that clause in their contracts. They have to do all they can to assure their shareholders and advertisers that the product they are investing in is being handled in a manner that will continue to show a profit. And for that to happen they need their actors to be on set when the time to film calls them to do so. Anything can happen to a flight, cancellations at the last hour, diversions, they could be stuck in bum fuck egypt and not make their call on set in time to film their scenes. we may not like to think about the money issue of the walking dead but it is a very real entity. without ad revenue and shareholders their would be no walking dead. without walking dead their would be no paul jesus rovia for me to swoon over. And I imagine that AMC does not like having to pull their actors from convention appearances - that is easy and free advertising money for AMC. It keeps their show in front of the fans. So at the end of the day I do believe that everyone had their hands tied and decisions had to be made. And I did have a nice morning with my daughter. I would not call it a trip per se since the venue was only 20 minutes from my house. In speaking with the wife of the event organizer she asked for my contact information and gave me her husbands email and her email address requesting I wait until Wednesday to contact them and they would refund my money since I bought the tickets for the sole purpose of seeing the TWD cast. That is unheard of and I am very thankful for such a nice surprise in the midst of a very disappointing morning. So bummed for you hon! But I agree with you - actors need to be on set when they are needed. I hope you get some of your money back!
