Amber Benson's 'Chance'

[estepheia]

A while ago the news spread that Amber Benson was planning to tour Europe with her movie 'Chance' - even Germany was listed as one of the counties she was going to visit. I just checked the website of the organizers but the announcment (which was for August and September) still hasn't been updated. Does anybody know if these plans have imploded entirely?
Has anyone ordered 'Chance' yet (can be done at Amber's site)? Has it been delivered? 55 bucks for a DVD is a lot of money (actually it's 45 plus 10 for postage, but still), especially since I'd have to pay customs. So, what's the quality of the DVD like? caille said she liked the movie a lot, and I have heard others state that it's worth watching, so that's not what I'm asking. I want to know if the DVD has decent sound and a good picture. Does anyone know?

Waaaah! But that answers the burning question whether I should wait for the tour or whether I should order my DVD from the states.
Okay, *glares at translation* maybe when the money for my LotR translation arrives in my account, then I'll order.

Thanks.
BTW, I think Jealous Events should take down the announcement.

Waaaah!

Yes, that was my reaction...that, and 'Poo'.

You're right, they should. Probably will as soon as enough interested parties start to respond. Plus I think they could give Jaime a few lessons in how to properly convey disappointing news to people. I mean, why has his event been cancelled?

From Christopher Golden, at Amber's official board (stolen from kimmed at amberbenson)

"I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings folks, but LW's out of town and Diane B. asked me to post this for her.

You all know by now that there was never any plan to sell the DVD at the August UK convention.

While a tour had been only tentatively discussed, no agreement was ever finalized and any announcement was very premature. It's not my place to comment further, except to say this: There will be no European Tour at this time, and despite what has been posted by the intended organizers, Diane has asked me to say that the organizers were told this last week in no uncertain terms.

Also, I'm afraid there's more. Given the manner in which things have been conducted, Diane has also asked that I note that it is POSSIBLE that work commitments will prevent Amber from attending the main event at all. While this is always the case, there is a specific potential conflict. Under normal circumstances, no announcement would be made until there was confirmation one way or the other, but given the expectations that have been inaccurately presented, Diane thought it best to caution everyone that this is a possibility. The organizers were also made aware of this last week.

There may be more to come once LW has returned, but for now, Diane has promised to have an announcement posted here once the final decision is made regarding the 3 day event."
