Beguiling, Ed the Sock Pull out of Hobbystar
:: Posted by Bryan @ 8/02/2006 09:13:00 PM Retailers and entertainers cancel their appearances at conventions all the time but it's rare that such actions take on the form of a crusade. With the creation of a Stop Hobbystar blog, these once-minor actions are beginning to steamroll into a political boycott. Since our last update, the latest news, according to Beguiling employee Chris Butcher, is that the Beguiling has pulled out of the upcoming Hobbystar Toronto convention. As well, crowd-pleasing Liana K of "Ed the Sock" fame has recently publicly discussed her problems with the Hobbystar organizers:
"However, it's been subtley suggested to us, and quite forcefully said to others, that we aren't welcome at Hobbystar's event. Part of this apparently involves the fact that we don't purchase a table at this show."
