<PRE>{you're letting Creation do B5 merchandise?}
|
|
|
|
We're aware of the rep that Creation has, and I've been very open in my
|
|
criticism of them when they've done something dumb, both in my talks with
|
|
them privately, and on the nets. They know that if they do a Dumb of Bad
|
|
Thing, I'm going to call them on it. I'll also note when they do things
|
|
right. And thus far, for the most part, they've done okay by B5. I've
|
|
worked closely with them on the licensing aspects, and some of it is really
|
|
quite cool, and the rest is fine. (They have come out with two recent items,
|
|
a B5 leather jacket (a bit over-priced, I think, but extremely cool
|
|
nonetheless), and B5 mugs with the logo on one side, and the silhouette on
|
|
the other in silver against black that's just *killer*.)
|
|
|
|
I don't feel sufficiently comfortable at this time to do a B5 convention
|
|
with them; but I have made an occasional personal appearance, and found that
|
|
they are genuinely interested in trying to straighten out their rep. A great
|
|
deal of the problem stems from the fact that they often work with local folks
|
|
in the area as hosts who often don't know what they're talking about. So now
|
|
they're cutting back a little, trying to do fewer, better, than a lot, less
|
|
efficiently.
