The letter was carefully witheld and mailed at the last minute in order to limit people's options should they take real offense at it. I know vendors who have yet to receive it and I got mine today..
.
With the 5-day cancellation policy if you call them now the Hilton can surely keep your money for Thursday if you were a dope like me and planned to come early and relax and Friday night too. That's a win for them. And we know that we can't get our money back from the show. It's a cinch that any vendor who pulls out harms only himself.. there won't be a sign outside the Auditorium "FYI.. a lot of the people and animals you came to see are not in there".. So the gate will be mostly unchanged.
.
You can be certain that Wayne Hill knew all about it. How much of a fight he put up over it is anybody's guess. What are his reasons for not personally getting involved and advising the vendors? Ask him when you see him.
.
If there was a storm in the Antilles moving north the Hilton would be empty this weekend except for the loyal herpers. That letter would never have been mailed.
.
See you there (I suppose).
