If you were trying to book a room at the Hyatt Regency yesterday at the con rate for MFF more than likely you saw this.

Stating you have received a passkey error.

passkey. Noun. (plural passkeys) A key, especially in a hotel, that allows someone in authority to open any door. (computing) A password.

MFF did apologize for the problems some people had but I put that percentage totally based upon posts in social media somewhere between 80 – 93% or why would it take 40 minutes to sell out that block of rooms. Compared to last year when did didn’t use passkey and that block was sold out in 1 minute.

In my opinion MFF should either go back to the old system or fix the problem with passkey.

Boozy Badger who I have the greatest respect for wrote on his own blog HERE what it is really like. If you think it’s easy, think again.

To quote the piece:

Now, I can hear people out there saying shit like, “But Boozy, a con chair can simply stack the Board of Directors with his friends and supporters when the convention is formed!” You’re right. A con chair sure as shit can, but it’s idiotic to do so, because the Board of Directors doesn’t owe a duty to the con chair. The Board of Directors, every member of the Board of Directors, owes a duty to the convention and the underlying non-profit corporation through something called “fiduciary duties.” These aren’t simple goddamn suggestions for the Board of Directors to follow, but rather actual legal duties that cannot be waived by the members of the Board, and a breach of those duties can make the board member personally liable to the corporation and/or to the membership of the convention itself.

From there on it gets into more detail…

The most recent episode of DuckTales offered a cameo appearance by Darkwing Duck. Fans have been waiting for this since it was teased that he would be in the show.
