Vinnie-Con Important Question

[poserboy71]

To Vinnie,
A few of us are wondering about a blacklist for Vinnie-Con.
I was in recent contact with Derek Christopher and he said :

Hi Rick -

Thanks for your e-mail. Sure, happy to answer your questions:

1. I don't know if anyone specific from the VV fan forums will not be allowed in, but I think there will be a few people in general who won't be allowed in (if they've threatened Vinnie, etc.). But I don't anticipate it being a big list, or that big of a deal. We just want to have a fun, positive weekend.

2. Cards are charged when the orders are made, and absolutely, if Vinnie didn't show up for any reason you'd receive a 100% refund.

Hope that helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions.

As far as I know, NO ONE at the VVFF has made threats towards you and we would appreciate the opportunity to be included this celebration.
We are also trying to organize a time in order to organize all VVFF members in the same photograph with you.
VVFF members from across the globe are making plans to be there. It would be a shame to be turned away at the door.
We have shown our human side through frustration and hurt yet have maintained protecting and defending you while proudly displaying our devotion and respect for your talents.
If a blacklist exists, obviously we will honor your wishes (Dino,Tommy, and I ,will still be in Atlanta to hang with our friends --- Wolfgang, Jesssica, Czynszak,etc...) but it would be an incredible experience to have this honor shared by the many here at the VVFF that have been your diehard admirers.

Oh my... I truly hope there isn't any such thing as a blacklist...
Also I am sure if there was, then as soon as whoever purchased the ticket and the name(s) popped up that VV didn't like, they would immediately get their refund. It would incredibly heart breaking to go all the way to Atlanta, just to be turned away at the door.
Like you, I am positive no one from here has ever threatened VV in any such way. Had their disagreements toward VV? Sure...but never a THREAT.

VV if you are seeing this, know that seeing you along with the other VVFF members and fellow fans would be a great honor. At this time I am doing everything in my power just to be able to travel to see you. Seeing you would be a dream come true because you are an idol to me and I don't want to risk not getting another chance!

And Rick, that is a wonderful plan about having all VVFF members taking a group pic with VV that would be such a great memory to have. I would cherish that so much.

See you there !!!!

He he he.

Dino why you are not going?
i would love to !

[doublev2]

It's too weird for me to go. I only would ever see vv live if he were playing a gig not an autograph fest . I am not into that. But I am interested.

[poserboy71]

Dino, See you in Atlanta.

[Streetbeat]

You might thing it's too weird, but it's actually nothing of weird. Just Show up and Celebrate!

[doublev2]

I would go if a live performance but not for an autograph that I don't want. I have no interest in autographs of anyone. A vvi or vv like jam YES anything else NO.

[poserboy71]

I'll see you in the autograph and photo line , Dino !

[AnkhWarrior]

Kinda off topic but how long did it take Derek to reply to your email?
I sent one a couple days ago concerning my purchased ticket. Still no response.

[madvincent]
