Vancouver BIG ONE Update: Bernie Parent unable to attend

[chadsexington]

Hey gang,

Just got an email from show organizers that Bernie Parent will no longer be able to attend the Big One due to a recent medical diagnosis where he's been told not to fly. Bossa's still honoring Parent autograph requests (as is Parent who has said he will be more than happy to sign items sent to him) however, no bulky items (like sticks) can be requested for autographing.

In his place, Rogie Vachon will be signing early in March instead of the April show.

Hopefully this doesn't change anybody's plans to attend.

Will Martin's dad still be there signing?

I just saw that same email as well - was looking forward to getting an auto for my dad from his favorite tender - oh well, I am sure there will be something else for me to blow money on while I am there.

How are they honouring autograph requests still? Mail in?

I think they're gonna do it the same way they did with Fuhr... Dale and Angie fly to a neutral location where Parent is (or his house directly) and do a private signing.
