VGXPO Draws Huge Crowds; POSTAL Fans Leave Disappointed
PHILADELPHIA While this year’s VGXPO was a huge success in almost every way – attracting almost 25,000 attendees from Friday night, November 21st through Sunday November 23rd – but the only attendees who had reason to be unhappy were the fans who lined up – twice – to see the “Postal” movie, followed by a Q&A with the audience.
Vince Desi, who was originally scheduled to handle the Q&A, was felled by a bad back and Bill Kunkel and Postal Babe artist Chris Holm were quickly substituted. Then, as convention goers began to line up for the show, more bad news arrived – the projector that was going to be used to show the film was stolen and the disgruntled crowd was told the showing was rescheduled for later that afternoon.
Alas, the projector never showed up and for a second time would-be viewers were sent away. VGXPO honcho Ed Fleming apologized profusely for the difficulties and promised that the film would be a featured attraction at the 2009 show, already scheduled for next November at the PACC convention center in Philly.
