[John Pickard]

Yes, Dirk loves his fans in Germany and all of Europe, and he always has a good time when he's there.


But I'm afraid I have to tell you that a conflict has developed (not with the promoters, more a timing/calendaring type thing) and Dirk has had to withdraw from this convention. It's a great disappointment all the way around; in addition to missing all his fans, I'm sure Dirk would have loved to see Noah, since Noah missed All-Con in Dallas a couple of weeks ago.



So I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I did promise to keep you updated, and I only found out tonight. I will continue to keep you updated as soon as I learn anything new.
