Yep. With any and all cancellations, people are going to get that creeping thought in their head of, "Hmmm, I wonder if this is about to collapse?" I know that thought popped into my head, at least toward the back of my mind.
There was already some grumbling on their Facebook about it. And people complaining that John Barrowman and the Karate Kid cast were never reannounced, as well. And I read an interview with the guy in charge where he basically admitted the date change had harmed people's trust in a brand new con and they had work to do to reestablish it and be careful going forward.
This is definetly one of the more unique situations I've seen with a con over the years.
