Well, I'd offer to share the hotel room with you (the room I always get does have an extra hide-a -bed in the couch), but not quite sure how that would go over with my wife. ;) Not sure even an NDA would protect me! :p
Hee! Wear body armor? :p

Just teasing!

The guy who made the custom clocks got reimbursed for some materials.

Someone else got reimbursed for sending out some kind of promo thing.

But the only payments I remember coming up on the thread were reimbursements, not actual payments for services.

kdb

Yeah, We even know Gail got some money out of him for reimbursement. The question is, did anyone get money that wasn't some form of reimbursement?

-Greg S.

[Danny Donovan]

My apologiues if this was already discussed. I was just surfing around this here intarwebz looking for some places to put the Press Release. After hitting all the major places I am just trying to find some corner I have yet to see it. :)

I was going to hit Jazma since they host that F3 interview. I looked on the forums and it seems the head of Jazma has had it up to here with him as well. He posted one of Gail's messages on his forum and said this:

Unfortunately I have had dealing with Rick as well and he has stiffed me as well. I am a lifetime member of ORCA and have been promised a membership bundle each year which I have not recieved.

He promised to send me a t-shirt a few months ago and I'm still waiting.
And if asked about his promises he says yes i'll get to it but he never does.
Gail who is mentioned above he has told me is one of his best friends. It doesn't seem like it.

Rick is always making promises he has no problem with that but keeping them well he seems to have a huge problem with that part.

Richard Vasseur

to which Rick responds:

Well, Rich -- You appear angry that I removed you and those fine interviews of yours from the forums over on the MMC.

Far as your ORCA stuff, the new ORCA hasn't yet surfaced. We're still pulling it together. I assure you that you will get what you deserve via ORCA and its new website on/around April 15th.

All in all, very undignified way for a Vice President to act. You're just playing into the hands of people that could care less about the fans.

Regards,
~Rick
TightLip Entertainment

which is countered by:

If Rick Olney actually sends me anything I will let everyone know here. But the chances of that happening are slim to almost non-existant. I have been waiting years now. I recieved one membership package from him in the 6 to 7 years that I have been a member. I was suppost to recieve one per year. It didn't happen. In this very forum here at Jazma he posted about 6 months ago he was sending me a t-shirt that didn't happen.
The newsletter that is suppost to come out a couple times a year in 7 years has come out twice.

He told me he would contact comic book talent and set up interviews for me to do that never happened not once.

One time he sent me an e-mail where he misspelled his own name by one letter. He hit the wrong key typing it. He went on that it was my fault I didn't notice it and correct it when I e-mailed him back. It was like it was the end of the world. It was a simple little mistake no big deal.

Richard Vasseur

This was all late Jan '07

[TomStillwell]

I can't believe that's actually his defense, but it is.

Too bad no one was snapping pictures when he put us up in a dump of a hotel, or when everyone but me left my area to go play football, or when he acted like an utter creep to the young cosplay girls, or when he repeatedly lied about payment, or when he forgot to book us a hotel and then his credit card was rejected.

Gail

This just floors me.

If somehow I convinced a big name creator like Gail to travel on her own dime to my little bodunk locale for a convention and my credit card was declined in front of said creator, I think I'd crawl under a rock and never ever dip my toe in the water of running a convention again.

It's his activist stance that kills me. The comments about people who don't care about the 'fans'. It's is SO disconnected from his reality.

It's like complaining that people aren't being supportive enough of his efforts to promote Botany. He could be a HUGE stumper for Greater Botany Awareness. But no one who has anything to do with the field CARES.

The thing I found funny was he misspelled his own name and then got angry at Rich about it.

Here's a response I posted to such an attack on me three years back on Newsarama:
Gee, Rick, that statement might have some impact, if it weren't coming from someone who wasn't in the midst of demeaning everyone who doesn't share his views on a narrow topic, and if it weren't addressed to someone who is in San Francisco to attend one day of a comic convention (as an attendee, not as a huckster), skipping the second day to head north and lunch with the artist of the delightful Alice graphic novel, then head up to the Charles M. Schulz Museum to talk with the text writer of a new book of Charles Schulz's pre-Peanuts work, to then have dinner with the intro-writer to the book, and then drive halfway home so that he can spend most of the day with an old cartoonist he's never met before. Oh, and if I hadn't been a comics fan hanging with comics fans for decades, hadn't wandered away from more lucrative fields to focus on comics-related work, dealing with respected folks in the field, hadn't.... well, the lists goes on and on. Yes, I disagree with you about comics ratings. No, that doesn't mean that I or the people I hang with don't care about "comic books and the entertainment portion of sequential art."
Reality and Rick's view of things have some compatibility issues.

[MacQuarrie]

Gail, just remember for next time. If not having a good time... squarely look the camera man in the eye, flip the universally known finger of fate, and grimace.

More words from the peanut gallery.

This is actually old stuff. From 2003, on the small press creators forum.

Apologies. I posted this in the wrong forum earlier. Brent or moderator-at-large, I've edited it in the other forum.

So many people think they know what ORCA is, yet they don't.

My earliest contacts with people within the various sector of the industry date back to the 1993-1995 years. I used to trade letters and then emails with people like Steve Geppi and other people at Diamond. I would espouse my thoughts and ideas on how the comic book could be more affordable to a wider readership. I also told them of ORCA's antics at giving away free comic books to inspire reading. And, I plugged the Comics in the Classroom thoughts and ideas that I had from working with two teachers directly back then in using the comic book in their school environments.

I've been doing this for ten years now. Anyone that is curious and look at coverage like this:
http://www.orcafresh.net/Comicons/pcc/class.html (http://www.orcafresh.net/Comicons/pcc/class.html)

Please pay particular attention to the date of the above coverage, because it is two years BEFORE anything proposed by MoCCA. You'll see that it mentions CrossGen Entertainment. I put that working relationship together. On ORCA's side of it, after Bob Stronach brought his two younger sons to a local club meeting, he found himself drawn to what I was saying regarding my thoughts on innovative approaches to taking and making a comic book serve a purpose slightly different, yet just as rewarding, as being simply read and collected. Classroom teaching environments were good places to teach kids about sequential art, their imagination, and possibly realizing that they had creative energy within themselves.

I wrote to retailers. Lots of them! No doubt some thought me insane. Heck, that wouldn't be anything unique. I've had parents and other former comic book readers tell me that I'm crazy for taking the approach that I do. So then why do I do it? Simple. It serves my purpose. Anybody that really knows me knows that I'm prone to eccentric episodes now and again. That doesn't make me a bad person. Other people think I'm a wacko and an egotist. Again, even if I were -- That doesn't make me a bad person. Frankly, if you take anything away with you of me from reading this post; it would be that I realize that this industry on all levels, be it Small Press, Indy or mainstream, is in need of all the help it can get to become a better attraction for readers of all ages. ORCA was originally created and founded 10 years aback to erase the ignorance of kids looking at comic books as instant money makers. Not enough was being done to inform them that the REAL value to a comic book was what was gained from reading it!

People are petty. People in this hobby and industry are petty. Very rarely does a person or entity get credit for its efforts unless its done by the rank-n-file. A very small percentage of people treat this hobby,my hobby, like it is theirs alone to do with as they choose. I have my own approach. My friend, Jonah Weiland created Freecomicbooks.com after trading emails with me. My friends at Marvel tried that .99 cent line of comics on my suggestions. My friends at CrossGen just launched their own BRIDGES program. Does ORCA have creative ties to Free Comic Book Day? It wouldn't surprise me if Joe Fields and forces at Diamond tapped into any of that which they've seen in letters from me or read illustrated upon the face of the hobby. If ORCA giving away free comic books somehow influenced aspects of the industry to look inward and be charitable a tad in allowing new readers to find this hobby, then great! Every idea begins somewhere. Where *free comic books* are concerned, ORCA has the credit for starting the idea and the longevity distinction. So you be the judge. Common sense will be your guide.

Before I step down from my cybernetic soapbox posting here ORCA has always promoted and endorsed the various values behind Small Press and people exploring their creative energies. We are a small press friendly environment and despite what you may think of me personally... I'm a great guy. The future belongs to us, the innovative creators! It doesn't matter if we're talking about creating comic books or creating comic book clubs here, my friends.

I'll shut up now. Heh, heh...

As a kid I loved getting a Happy Meal. I'd stop at McDonalds and it was fun to get one and play with the toy involved. Can we all just let this go. Rick's giving Happy Meals a bad name ! Please stop the insanity , we were all kids once and we had our Happy Meals.

Can we not make Happy Meals look bad here ?
...

;)

Happy Meals come with ketchup. I despise ketchup. I've despised it since I was first given a taste of that foul, salty, mushy tomato-paste ... stuff.
I have only bad memories of trying to wipe all the ketchup off the burger when the staff refused to listen to the grumpy looking five year old who didn't want ketchup on her burger, or salt on her fries (because salt tastes like crap too).

I work extra at a music hall, answering the phones, taking care of the mail and other stuffs. Every now and then I'll get a call or a letter from a lady in her 60's, who's absolutely CONVINCED she's best buds with one of the female singers. Not only that, but that she's helped advance the singers' career, helped with press-relations, organized group trips to see the singer live etc etc.
She'll send packages of highlighted articles where the singer appears, and claim she (the fan) is also mentioned in the article (she never is). She's sent musical notes and added her own name to them, claiming other composers have stolen her works (they haven't), and that the singer can help her in up-coming court cases. (sound familiar?)
The reason for all of this is that the woman is a failed cello-player who once met the singer somewhere and just fixed on her like a tick to a dog. And there's no getting rid of her!

So, come check it out although there is no location listed. Just drive around New York on those days and if you see a place that looks like it might have comics, just stop on in. And since this is his last post maybe only psychics are invited, since they will know the guest list and location. By the way, I guess if having a bunch of your own comics to sell while you sit around by yourself is considered a convention then I run one every day that I am at the shop. So get ready because tomorrow will be Calliope Con # 370.

[Gail Simone]

Never mind, I found it.

HA!

What a loser. As if this con is actually going to happen, and as if Jonah would let him use anything related to CBR.

I love that he thinks people are going to side with a deadbeat racist.

Wow. I thought that thing about the glass was just a joke too, but there it is, right there on the website. Easy to make promises for a convention that's never going to happen, I suppose, but gee whillikers...

[MacQuarrie]

Hmmm...I wonder if the owners of "CBR"/"Unscrewed" can sue him for using their product/name without permission? That would be funny!!! :D
Unlike Rick, Jonah's lawyer is an actual entity. A mean one, too.

[MacQuarrie]

Well I'll be damned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought Comcman was making a joke.

He has some huevos (did I get that right? and if I did, will I be reported to Homeland Security?) I have to give him that...

I wonder if we should send a Cease and Desist order? Or if we should marvel in the idiocy of having a product, based around your own downfall, as a selling point for the show that your not going to have anyway?

Although honestly, I kind of want that glass now.

I will talk to my attorney about a letter for UNSCREWED tomorrow, and get it mailed on Monday. Since I'm listed as the legal owner of the UNSCREWEDCOMIC.COM domain, it's my responsibility to police this.

Unless one of our resident attorneys wants to draft a letter and have me sign & mail it immediately... email me: jim@jimmacq.com

Oh sure,
I leave the shop last night and then everyone starts talking about canes, when I have a cool cane story. So I will relate it now. 2 years ago I went into an antique mall in Chicago. I walk up to this case and see one of the coolest things ever. It is the head of a cane carved to look like a demon, with rubies for its eyes. The little blurb about it says that it was the head of Anton LaVey's Cane. I was ready to buy it , but the seller could not provide any provenance, so I decided that $700 for something that might real was a little too expensive. Oh and also:

What should Calliope's Realm name their publishing imprint? Answer the question "Matt" "Doc" "Martin" or you will face CIVIL ACTION. :D

True. But you CAN get documentation on it. Anytime I have to send a money order I pay via credit card, so I have to sign the slip, and have it backed up with both a carbon copy and my monthly statement. :)

And ya also gotta love that only money orders will be accepted for prepayment on tickets for a con that's months away, eh?

You know, if I was having money problems, and had court judgments against me which I had not yet paid, and had no morals, no scruples, and no manliness, I might want people to send me a form of payment which did not require me depositing it in a bank account or other trackable account.

And you know, if that secured location doesn't actually exist, and if the convention doesn't materialize and monies spent are not refunded... I suspect that qualifies as mail fraud.

Yes, it does. And, if you keep the stub from the money order (that part that has the MO# and aaalllllllllllll the tracking info), that money CAN be traced to the person that cashed it.

Great t-shirts there, Danny! But be careful. The "Golden Arches" may come after you.....

I sent you a PM about that Danny. We need to make a generic box and get the golden arches off there. Mickey D's loves to sue people, and I do not want to be a part of that, knowhutimean?

[Reverend Smooth]

RO, quite simply, is resentful of people in the industry because he himself doesn't have the talent to be a legit part of it. He can't draw, can't write, can't promote.

(He even puts quotes around 'talent', a dead giveaway-- he can't even acknowledge that they are actual talent.)

Set aside his lack of scrupules at ripping people off-- I think that he targeted this industry out of resentment. He suckers people into working with them, rips them off, and then quite gleefully vilifies them and tears into them. Vindictively, but sloppily.

Sounds like a fanboy who always wanted to get into comics, but never quite had the talent or the intelligence to go about it. A lot of people have to go through this in regards to things they love (I'd love to be any number of things, but my skills lie elsewhere), but with him, it's turned into some sick poisonous rage.

His disclaimer has as much bite as his NDA. I assume, that he put that there in hopes of people not being able to repost information like his address or content on other places. However there is such a thing as fair use and any number of reasons you can repost stuff...

It's so amusing when the simpleminded try to play lawyer.

Rick, keep digging. Judges find this sort of thing hilarious. Hilarious in that "I'm going to laugh myself silly as I squash you like a cockroach under my big ol' honkin' legal gavel of justice" way.

You may have successfully played "rules lawyer" while arguing with the moderator at some message forum, but dude, we ain't playing here. We have real lawyers and real judges on the field now, and they have real Marshals and Sheriffs just itching to carry out their orders and real collection agencies just dying to bust the balls of guys like you. So keep trying to show how smart you are. It makes for much greater entertainment value when that gavel falls.

That dodge might work, if TLE were incorporated somewhere. It's not. It's a fictitious name (a "DBA") that's registered with his county offices as a sole proprietorship. He has no shielding.

Personally, I think it's a good idea. Don't forget, however, that I'm going to be drunk in a couple of hours, so my thought processes now may be a little confuseled.

My God, I can't even say that much without shaking my head and laughing. Poor, poor, Rick. I can just imagine him renting a convention center and then just walking in one day into the empty building and saying, "Hey, where is everybody?! Curse you, Gail Simone! This is all your fault!"

I would attend, although Rick's show is on the same weekend of my "DELUSIONAL DANNY CON" it's going to be super awesome. There will be cheesecake, hot dogs and my super bestest buddies in the whole wide world Devil Dinosaur and Moon Boy will be attending to eat... um entertain the kids.

We'll have a panel by Vandel Savage entitled "Children, the beacons of our future or handy organ donors?" It's sure to be a riveting thing.

As always there will be the "challenge Jim Ritchey to a drinking contest" proceeds will go to the alcohol poisoning ward of the local hospital. ;)

And for them MMA fans out there, open cage matches in the parking lot from 12-4 each day. Two men enter, one man leaves!

And if that isn't all, there's the ever popular dunk a minority booth.

Plenty of guests. Polly Prissypants, and Artimis T. ClogFrog will be in attendance!

Only 99.99 per day! Advance ticket sales go on now, all sales final! Not reponsible for any of this not happening.

It was pretty much that way for the one con I attended for Rick. There were more people on Artist's Alley then there were attendees. And that was even before Gail got the word out. Now I'm guessing it'll be even less on both sides of the table!! (local vendors are or should already be aware of what he's like... and avoid accordingly. If they still go, it's their own fault!)

[bert]

I sure wouldn't pay in advance.

Gail

well. . that's because you don't have the money, since you aren't a big fish in the the comics industry, (and you have a VAGINA, that you use while LYING ON YOUR BACK).


:)

[Charles RB]

There were more people on Artist's Alley then there were attendees.

How much did you have to pay to be in Artist's Alley? Any amount, you were probably ripped off.

[JTPencils]

OH YEAH!!!

On a side note. I just found tonite (by total happenstance) a new LCS that's like ten minutes away from my home. They're originally from up in Springfield MA... but have decided to expand to little ol' CT. I couldn't tell ya how happy I was that finally there's a comics shop nearby again. (We use to have 5 in town, then the big "investment" bubble popped and they all closed down). The vendor said he's only been open at the location for two days. He DID say he was surprised at the amount of comics he's already sold there in a few days. They also stock cards of all variations.. but he said it's the comics that have been selling best. I figure I'll slowly interest him in Unscrewed! and what's going on. If anything, I'll forewarn him about ordering anything from a certain "publisher"... (now THERE'S a word that belongs in quotes).

I got a little bit o' swag (didn't have much cash on me at the time). But I will definitely return!!

Now back to the topic. Rick, you now have 11 days.

[JTPencils]

How much did you have to pay to be in Artist's Alley? Any amount, you were probably ripped off.

The space was free... and I STILL shoulda demanded a refund!!

To be honest... I did sell quite a few books there, and a sketch of the Wraith. So it wasn't a total loss.

If it weren't for the fact that I had freebie points to a local hotel (and obviously not the fleabag that poor Gail got stuck in. I travel for the regular job, and build up free nights at reputable hotels), it really only cost me gas to attend, and dinner the day of the con. And what I had made for the books and sketch, it was covered.. and left me with 10 bucks. LOL (Rick actually supplied pizza for the con... I'm wondering what poor driver he conned out of those?)

OTOH - and, please, anybody, check me if I'm wrong - but isn't taking money through the mail and then not delivering the goods sort of, like, the DEFINITION of mail fraud? And isn't mail fraud a FEDERAL criminal offense?

Not that I'm suggesting anything, of course, but wouldn't it be interesting if a bunch of people bought one-day memberships by mail and then if (when) the con didn't come off, all tried to get their money back at once? (I'm hearing "The Entertainer" being played on an upright piano in the back of my head right now.) I mean, which would be worse for Rick - going to the federal pen or giving the money back?

"As always there will be the "challenge Jim Ritchey to a drinking contest" proceeds will go to the alcohol poisoning ward of the local hospital. "

Now there's a pay per view event just waiting to happen.

[Inkpot1965]

You set it up, JT

[Danny Donovan]

Don't you insult Rick...He'll sick George Lucas on you! Heh, heh....

I'd only be worried about that if George was coming with the people that actually wrote the GOOD star wars movies. :p

[Sarah Beach]

And ya also gotta love that only money orders will be accepted for prepayment on tickets for a con that's months away, eh?

You know, if I was having money problems, and had court judgments against me which I had not yet paid, and had no morals, no scruples, and no manliness, I might want people to send me a form of payment which did not require me depositing it in a bank account or other trackable account.

And you know, if that secured location doesn't actually exist, and if the convention doesn't materialize and monies spent are not refunded... I suspect that qualifies as mail fraud.

But you have to give the peanut credit for paying attention to the lessons discussed here in this thread. Remember that I pointed out that vendors actually do have a legal right to specify the method of payment that will be accepted? Obviously, he took note of that, and decided on mail-order.

Not that any other convention makes that restriction..... but then, just about every other convention I know of is actually legitimate! ;)

Hey, don't associate Encyclopedia Brown with him. It would've taken him and Sally three minutes to uncover he was a liar and a thief and they would've beat him up for it, later. ^_~

Okay, I'm still back on page 1118, but Danny posted this:


He mistypes his own name, doesn't catch it, and the respondent is expected to catch it and correct it? How warped is that?

I just had to comment on it! It's beyond ... almost everything. Pfft.

Actually, I pointed this out several pages ago, but no one noticed or cared, so I deleted it.

I'm glad that y'all have put the screws to Olney, but this thread is far too cliquish and not at all welcoming to people like me.

So, this is where I walk away....

Hey, it happens all the time. With a thread this big, you can miss posts and not even realize it. I've made posts asking questions that ended up as the last post for the page and subsequently other replies forced people not to notice what I had posted.

I've had stuff I've posted on other boards ignored while I've been serious as hell. It happens. Not everyones gonna reply to each post and with a thread thats this big and goes this fast it will slide by. Visit Ritas at the community board during a busy time and watch.

[DocAbsurd]

The space was free... and I STILL shoulda demanded a refund!!

To be honest... I did sell quite a few books there, and a sketch of the Wraith. So it wasn't a total loss.

If it weren't for the fact that I had freebie points to a local hotel (and obviously not the fleabag that poor Gail got stuck in. I travel for the regular job, and build up free nights at reputable hotels), it really only cost me gas to attend, and dinner the day of the con. And what I had made for the books and sketch, it was covered.. and left me with 10 bucks. LOL (Rick actually supplied pizza for the con... I'm wondering what poor driver he conned out of those?)

Was that the 2003 Mini Mighty-Con, JT? I was sitting with Ian at the SPA table.

The one comment I heard from almost everyone was how there were more guests than attendees at any given time.

I missed lunch that day; as did everyone on my panel because, due to meticulous planning, our discussion took place right during the pizza delivery. I had counted on making it up when the cake was cut after the auction . . .

Uhm, Hi, welcome to Yabs.

A few things. I saw a deleted post of yours, so out of curiosity, I looked up your other posts, and found them all deleted.

I have no idea who you are, or what your viewpoint is.

I just know that someone appeared whilest I was sleeping, and in the interim, has decided that this is too cliqueish, and to erase all their posts, and leave.

That's just weird, there, that is. Welcome to the forum though, sorry if we weren't paying enough attention to you?

I mean, I'm an attention whore, you know, but I don't expect people to respond to everything I say here. There are just too many people, particularly on this thread, for everyone to respond to everything that is said.

So, uhm, I think what I'm saying is, Relax, have a good time, be friendly, and we're friendly.

Be well, and be well, and all will be well.

Its about the group, not the individual! ^_^ There's going to be a lot of triping over people's toes. I'll post something and find in the time its taken me to type it, someone's posted something almost identical.

No, slick... that was 2005 where the attendence sucked and everyone got pizza.

I figure he is at least 3 cans in.

[Samuel Catalino]

I doubt that Rick will show at Pitt this year. But I've been wrong before.

I will be looking for him tho'. Heck, if he does show, I may have my kids follow him around asking loudly, "Aren't you that deadbeat publisher Rick Olney? Could you sign my Happy Meal box pleeeeeze!!!"

Nah....honestly, I don't want him within a foot of my (or anyone else's) children.

Honestly Glenn,

I would not want any child near him or his buddies, especially the fellow who came up with that disgusting logo of his.

I doubt you could get your girls to follow him around anywhere. You and your wife have raised them well, judging by my brief encounter with them last year.

Best,

Hey, Matt. Although I've taken ballet lessons, and Scottish Country Dancing, do you know anyone that teaches Monkey Dancing?

I can't find any listings for it anywhere, not even on the net. Well, plenty of references, but no lessons.

And I've got to ask you much more seasoned convention attenders (my 6 years at ComicCon International apparently aren't going to help), is "Monkey Dancing" a big evening activity? Because someone was recommending that I take it up.

I am getting older, and may not be as hip as some youngsters. Monkey Dancing is kind of like krunk, but with a bit more flava.

I only have 5 cons under my belt, so I am nowhere near as cool as you. Wow...to have more than 2 cons...what a dream!

[bert]

good grief!

I cannot believe the fool has a lawyer. Any lawyer would be telling him to stay far, far, FAR away from the internet. . . especially after he was just ruled against.

Maybe he just saw someone in a suit and thought he was a lawyer?

Though I was going to say it was the 2005 con. I think the pizza though was from the 2003 one. I can't say with any certainty.

[Matt Doc Martin]

Threats aren't an offense to sue over?

Too late! My Civil Lawyer already started the process. He was there in his tux, reading through the internets, and saw threats...and NAME CALLING! He has unleashed hell-hounds and arch-angels.

I tried to stop him, but he brushed me aside. "I have to do this", he cried. "Your permission is not needed. I enforce Civil Law"

I am so sorry, peanut. Looks like you are due to lose again.
