TimeGate is a Doctor Who (and more) convention in Atlanta, GA, USA, that takes place each year over the Memorial Day weekend. There's tons more info under the cut. Mary Tamm is one of the Doctor Who guests this year!
I think that most of the Doctor Who-related guests for the Boston Jumpcon, like Mary Tamm and John Levene, had already cancelled or been cancelled by the con, but getting the word out is important.
That's three Jumpcons cons in a row, cancelled. I can't imagine that any of the others will be a "go". Folks in Boston can go to Readercon this weekend, but it's a totally literary con, with no media guests. Can't say that I wasn't expecting this. Blast! Between this debacle and FedCon in Dallas, fans, especially those new to organized fandom, could be doubtful about other cons, and it could hurt long-established cons. :(
Total article about the cancellation is under the cut.
