It wouldn't be long before they catch him, as he's so fat, he can be easily spotted in a crowd of people.
These are the people that want to talk to your kids about tranny sex
Wtf is wrong with his thighs!? It's got legitimately animal like proportions of 70% meat up high
You ever notice how much more verbose he was back in the day? Now it's just all "wrong again, stalker" "I don't care, child."
Like pepperoni. How ironic and fat.
600 according to staff on their FB group, a terrible turnout based on previous years:
Why on earth would he be doing a reading from the book he hasn't even finished yet? How does that make any sense? Nobody can be intrigued and go to his booth to buy it. This man knows nothing about marketing. If he's trying to sell books, he ought to be reading from one he's got available. This isn't even a scenario where he's teasing the next book in the series, so you can be intrigued by what you hear and then go back and read how it all starts out, and be caught up with the series by the time the new book comes out. Christmas Carnage isn't a sequel to anything he's got out - it's not even the same genre! People interested in hearing the rest of his story (rate me optimistic, I know) aren't going to see a bunch of spaceships and have that interest bleed over to his existing catalogue.
Losing your shirt to own the reds.
Let's be charitable and assume fat tits manages to generate some interest
Hasn't GRRM done that for that next ASOIAF book he'll never finish? Maybe Fat's trying to ape him?
GRRM will release the next ASOIAF before Pat's gay Christmas carol fan fiction is released.
600 is absolutely shit attendance, especially if they were previously pulling 1000+. Wu Flu aside, that drastic of an attendance drop is imminently concerning, and would normally call for some immediate action from the entire staff. The con I worked for was pulling 15k+, and we had several emergency meetings one year when our pre-reg numbers seemingly dropped by 500. They're not providing satisfactory content to engage their attendees. They need to survey their attendee base, and get some data from the panels themselves on what works and what doesn't. Shit like this isn't necessarily hard, it just takes some patience and work.
I wonder if not releasing a public schedule of panels and speakers would have impacted decisions to attend or not attend. Why drop money on this event if you don't know if the parts you're interested in happen when you're free or conflict with each other?
The insane coof restrictions were a huge part of it as well I'm sure. Not only do you alienate the people who would rather not go through all that gay shit, but the people who believe it's necessary also won't attend out of fear. Lots of offline events that aren't major trade shows are in dire straits because of the same issue.
Most parents end up with their vocabularies influenced by their children. The most obvious one is when parents call each other Mom and Dad, but there's all sorts of childish words that an adult wouldn't ordinarily use but because they're around kids all the time it just affects how they speak now.
