I'm currently at NY Comic-Con and I can't believe what just happened this afternoon. The NYC fire marshall came and very nearly shut the whole show down because of the overflow of people that converged at the Javits Convention Center. And then, NY State Troopers were brought in to control the crowd. It was that kind of day for me. I want to fire some people.

First off, I want to fire the person who thought the ground floor was good enough for the main exhibition. You are so fired! This show was produced by Reed Exhibitions, the people behind Mip and MipTV. I was stunned to learn that they seriously knew there would be a large attendance for Saturday but they didn't bother to change the floor plans. So, this was what prompted the NYC fire marshall to arrive and bring a cadre of NY State Troopers with him. Oh, it was bad.

I want to really bitch about this. I mean, c'mon! You are f&*king Reed Exhibitions! What the f!$k were you people thinking? And guess what? Other exhibitors were thinking the exact same thing. Everyone paid for this event and my crew and I didn't just drive out on a Saturday to get shat on. This was a logistic nightmare and I hope to dear God you people learn from this...and learn it quickly. You are no San Diego Comic-Con. And you are certainly not Anime Expo. And this is New York City! Not Indianapolis or Seattle. This was supposed to be a top-notch con, nothing less. It ended up being the worst con I have attended to date.

And now, for the real bitch session... I want to say "F%8k You" to a couple of bitchy publicists from Sony/Screen Gems. Get over yourself! I'm producing the god damn segment and you give me your f&#king attitude. Be thankful a TV crew was there at all. I don't give a crap if Ultraviolet flops or wins a weekend. At least our shit does get watched. So F%^k You!
