Oh man, in true douchebag fashion, after committing to come to the show and me announcing it in our press releases, on Twitter, Facebook, and ad in today's Stranger, Billy Mitchell canceled on us. Like I needed a reason to hate that guy more.

please tell me you had a guarantee and contract canceling fee!!

What an ass. He probably figured that his cult of personality would'nt hold much water in Seattle, which it wouldn't, and that he wouldn't be treated like the big shot that he believes himself to be.

Chris- All the speakers speak for free, I think we are only out the cancellation fee on the flight. Yeah, my guess is he decided coming to Wiebe's hometown might have not been a smart move, the Seattle folks would have an extra hatred of him and his mullet, which is probably true. Honestly, I thought it was going to be weird and awkward to have him here, but once it was confirmed I rolled with it on the hype and promotions angle.

Just print out a large copy of the Time Magazine picture and put it near the door with a sign saying something like "Sorry I couldn't be here folks, I was too busy being amazing." A picture of him would be much more enjoyable than his presence anyways.

Also, can I just share this bit of internet gold I came across:

That is a stunningly bad tattoo.

Right?
Kinda boggles the mind. I wouldn't be surprised if Billy himself was the proud owner of it. Ha!
