Re:Lexx Cast at MegeCon again for 2004!!!
Well I am not sure that anyone beside Mr. Downey has talked to him lately.
It has been a few months since last I spoke with him and at that time he was cleaning out his basement which was flooded by some winter storms. Which was a bit of a bummer for him, since he was still recovering from the health problems that threw the monkey wrench into the DC arrangements.
As Valdron pointed out on the Sci-fi board, this is not Mr. Lowe’s main gig. He has a full time job, and does this as a hobby of sorts. A very expensive hobby, since before the first person enters a con, the pictures must be paid for, the plane tickets bought, the cabs paid for, and the hotel rooms rented…..
Possibly the only people that can answer your question are Mr. Downey and Mr. Lowe. Have balls been dropped causing last minute problems for the cast and fans? Oh yeah. Why have they been dropped? Who knows? It could be a number of reasons, health, finances, family problems, real life difficulties or just not taking care of business. I suspect that the reason may be a combination of several reasons.
What is known, is how stressful this is for the cast, the fans, and the convention staff. So this is indeed a major bummer.
Hopefully the cast will be able to find another convention manager. And hopefully jkd112 will find something to hang with in Orlando. 😀
