True Blood News at The Nest

Bad news for all you True Blood fans that had plans to go to TwiCon in Vegas or Ottawa this summer. The convention has been cancelled in both cities.

After much thought, deliberation and best intentions to survive, TwiCon Partners LLC has made the difficult decision to cease operations. Competitive pressures, coupled with the persistent nature of the economic downturn, have necessitated this action. Both of the scheduled 2010 TwiCon events have been cancelled as a result of today’s decision.
