EyeCon cancels… again.

The EyeCon: Bloodlust event was originally scheduled for January 15-17, 2010.  Shortly before the convention was supposed to take place, EyeCon cancelled the event.  Here’s the note from their website:

We have just received word that Kellan will now be unavailable for his January appearance. We’ve heard two reasons, one is for filming and the second is that he is exhausted from his Summit tour for the release of New Moon. We’ve decided, rather than seek a new headliner with only a month to show, to postpone the first BloodLust until May 7-9. More details will be forthcoming, though we can mention that we are looking to focus on The Vampire Diaries initially. This will also give us ample time to promote the appearance of a new headliner. Refunds are being sent in full for those who have purchased tickets to January’s show. We’re certainly apologetic for any inconveniences or disappointments caused by the postponement, attempting to bring the Twilight stars to the fans has been an arduous task as they have been prone to cancellation, we rarely have cancellations with any other celebrity guests. Please feel free to forward any questions to us at submission@eyeconfla.com. Happy holidays!

WELL – the event was supposed to take place next month, and it seems that EyeCon has cancelled again. Currently on their website:

Due to recent developments we have decided to cancel our upcoming BloodLust event. We are focusing now on our upcoming 2nd Annual True Blood Convention scheduled for August/September. For those who purchased admission to BloodLust and vendors, we will be contacting you shortly for refunds. Thanks for all of your support!

Is EyeCon a victim of fan convention saturation in the marketplace or just really bad luck? We’d love to hear your thoughts.
