It's nice of him to post his yearly audioblog entry. I wish I could leave a comment on it.

I kid, I kid. Kinda.

Apparently this happened during Steve Carlson's concert Saturday night. Jared and Jensen and their girlfriends were in the back of the room and we didn't know it until during the dessert party when someone said that they had been there. Jared and Jensen weren't scheduled to appear until 7:00 Sunday morning.
I feel terrible for Nicky that this happened. Creation owes him a huge apology.

(and seriously, I'm sitting here editing something for Buffy Between the Lines, and just listened to Nick and Chris (our Xander) back to back and well, it's just uncanny... Really...)

This is what I saw go down from my seat in the back of the auditorium.
Nick and his assistant were let into the auditorium by Creation staff and then they headed to the back. Before they got close to Jensen and Jared they were stopped by security. Nick spoke to one of the guards and told him who he was and tried to keep going. He was quickly surrounded by all of the guards and things started to get a little heated. The Creation staff at the door did not come over to assist. Finally Nick turned and left, taking of his coat and tie very pissed off.
Adam, the head of Creation, was up near the stage with one female security person that I see at all of the cons. I told him "Um I'm not sure if you're aware but your security people just kicked out Nick Brendon...". He looked at me and then turned back to the concert. The female staffer turned to me and said "Yeah". A bit confused I went back to my seat.
About five minutes later Nicks' assistant came back to talk to the security guards and the female staffer also came over. She then proceeded to tell him that she was unaware of the situation (that I had just told her about) and tried to smooth things over.
I was extremely embarrassed for Nick and really upset with the way Creation dismissed him. It was ridiculous.
I am really not a fan of Adam from Creation. His biggest concern is getting your money. The main focus of the con was Supernatural. I don't believe Adam cared at all about the way Nick was treated.

It was very dark back there and pretty loud what with a concert going on. I'm sure Jared and Jensen couldn't see who it was that the guards were running off. If they had known it was Nicky, I'm sure they would have intervened.

We stopped even considering anything that had the 'Creation' tag on it, after a few times.

Nah, we shouldn't reward this kind of behaviour. But yes, as I stated on the other thread, this is pretty much an insult. Creation owes a big apology. And the way the head of Creation apareantly reacted after being told it happened by kayleefan... not very nice, at all.
This is why conventions really shouldn't be big business like this. It gets impersonal. I'd much rather go to a fan-run convention where things are maybe a little chaotic from time to time, than to something like this.

Smallville shouldn't even have been mentioned in the title because the only Smallville related guests were Jensen who was in Season Four as Jason Teague, and Samantha Ferris (who was there as a Supernatural guest for her role as Ellen Harvelle) who was in one episode of Smallville as a prison warden.
Nicky was the only Buffy guest, and Mark Lutz was the only Angel guest.

I can't believe the event staff were such...(insert expletives here). That just makes me mad. I've never been to a con since we don't have any where I live but I am certainly never going to attend a 'creation' event if I ever have that opportunity. What a terrible way to treat your guests. I hope someone sends them a strongly worded letter and I hope Nick never agrees to attend one of their events again.

I'd heard Creation had improved. Evidently not.
