As long as everyone has to follow the same rules that DWC does and that they all sign the facilitator agreements with CGC and they all must meet the minimum book limits with the penalties imposed on them if they do not meet such limits. Be my guest and see how many really are willing to sign on the dotted line. Since CGC restructured the Signature Series program and the witness program, almost everyone that was part of the witness program has stepped down from being a facilitator. But we are completely in agreement with such a list. But again make sure everything is laid out on the table. Remember that once you make a commitment to being a facilitator there is no backing out because you can't make the financial obligations to CGC. Hope to see everyone step up. Now once again can we please get back to the original purpose of this thread and that is to talk about the John Romita Event and stop taking your potspots at DWC. Take your comments to the thread in the sig room please.

OK nice story. Tell us all when I supposively called on Friday. I assume you mean the Friday before the show. So what time did I supposively call? This should be interesting.
Ok I have to speak up now. I read these boards but do not post as I do not like mud-slinging but Chandler is clearly calling me a liar.
These are the facts.
I called Desert Wind in early July and will look up the date if need be. I asked about buying 100-200 Stan Lee tickets for Baltimore. Chandler told me he would not sell me the tickets and I could buy only 10 and they would have to go under his CGC account because that is the contract he has with Stan's people. He said under no circumstances could I get books done with Stan unless I wanted to only do 10 through him. At that point I decided to see about setting my own signing with Stan as my customers did want anybody but me handling their expensive books. I then got my signing with Stan approved by Stan's people and proceeded to take books from my customers.
The following then happened:
Chandler called me on Tuesday 08/16/2011 at 5:32 pm and the conversation lasted 18 minutes.(I have the phone records to prove this). This conversation started with Chandler acting all buddy buddy talking shop then he asked if I needed a handful of Stan books signed at Baltimore and I told him thanks but no thanks I was good. He then told me that me that I am not allowed to have a Stan Lee Signing that Stan Lee SS books must go through DW. This was well after the private signing was approved by Stan's people and had nothing to do with Chandler at all. Somehow he got wind of it and tried to stop it which he failed to do. I have the phone records, clearly that is how I have the information and if you want to keep calling me a liar, how about you post your phone records for that date to show you did not make the call or are you calling the phone company a liar also.
After discussing this with CGC I asked them as a professional courtesy not to reprimand you for this clear violation of the rules. At this point with you talking publicly and calling me a liar I don't care what they do.
One last point. How did you get my private cell phone number which is not published??????

As DWC would say, let the "supposive potspots" begin.

Chandler could follow his own directions and discuss it other places as well. However, he seems to be remiss in following his own advice.

Looking forward to some info about the event.
DWC, I would like to get some more details whenever possible since I am planning to make the trip and there doesn't seem to be a website or anything with all the exact information.
Will the signing take place at the Hard Rock Cafe for the full 50 hours because I have seen JRJR say that they may have to move around to different locations. Will the signing/line be indoors?
So the official start of the event will be at noon on Friday the 4th at the Hard Rock Cafe on the strip? If so I am hoping to be able to line up at 6am or so.
I've seen a rumor that Stan Lee will be there at some point, any details on that?
And I know your busy with a convention but also looking forward to details about when you or your crew will be there so I can coordinate and make sure my book(s) get done for CGC SS.
